Join Qualification Development Consultant, Ruth Perry, for an introduction to our new Keeping Safe and Healthy qualifications.
Developed in partnership with a large FE college, these qualifications have been designed to help you educate learners about ways to keep safe and healthy while recognising the range of challenges they face in contemporary society.
Helping learners recognise issues and offering ways of avoiding or minimising risks means they have better control over their own safety, health and wellbeing.
We have worked with a number of centres to design two new qualifications that will help providers address these issues with learners:
Gateway Qualifications Level 1 Award in Keeping Safe and Healthy
Gateway Qualifications Entry Level Award in Keeping Safe and Healthy (Entry 3)
Useful links
We constructed a lot of research for these qualifications – especially around the indicative content. We thought it might be useful to share links to websites that we found particularly helpful. Each website has information that relates to the content of the qualifications:
NHS Direct
Talk to Frank
Drink Aware
LGBT Foundation
Stonewall
Terence Higgins Trust
FPA
Safer Internet
The Mix

Childline
