The aim of the diploma is to give students a thorough basic introduction to safeguarding and the many multidisciplinary issues which touch on this topic, as well as to their interrelatedness, while equipping students with the competencies needed for further augmenting their skills after the completion of the course. In addition, students gain an awareness of the limits of their knowledge, considering their previous studies and fields of expertise, as well as the new areas and disciplines they learn about.

Students learn the practical application of their newly gained competencies through a series of real-life tasks specific to their own cultural backgrounds. This course fosters the growth of students’ abilities to effectively create change and implement preventative measures
