The aim of this training is to provide knowledge on how to take necessary measures for the development of education, learning, personality, and social responsibility for individuals under 18, according to their age and development. It also aims to raise societal awareness about child neglect and abuse, teach primary prevention methods for abuse, and ensure that families, educators, health professionals, and coaches are informed about child neglect and abuse, potential risk factors, and possible legal sanctions.

Children grow and learn most effectively when they are in safe, secure, and comfortable environments, such as school and sports settings, where they spend a lot of time. Therefore, it is the goal of this training to ensure that all members who communicate with children in such institutions understand the extent of neglect and abuse and use this knowledge to protect the well-being of children.

This training has been designed for individuals who have graduated with a 4-year bachelor’s degree. A Certificate of Participation will be issued to successful participants upon completion of the program.
