None of your choices are correct. Try the exercise again.
Some of your choices are correct. Safeguarding legislation directly protects the following groups:
- Part time students who may be part of an alternative curriculum.
- Full time students.
- Children in the organisation's crèche.
- Students with learning difficulties.
- Adult learners with personal care needs.
Staff are not the focus of safeguarding legislation, and the laws were not created to safeguard them from harm and abuse. However, staff are affected by safer recruitment practices and a safer learning environment protects them too. Staff subject to discrimination or bullying should take this up through their organisation or union.
