Bradford Safeguarding Children Board (BSCB), which has successfully delivered online child protection training to over 3,000 people in the Bradford District children's workforce over the past two years, has expanded its provision with the introduction of new e-learning courses delivered via the internet.

Working in partnership with the Safeguarding Children e-Academy, a standalone division of online training pioneer Virtual College, BSCB has, in its multi-agency lead role, to date rolled out ‘Basic Awareness in Child Abuse and Neglect' training across the Bradford Metropolitan Council area.

Now, the board has launched five new modules - free to workers in member organisations. They are:

• Safeguarding Children from Abuse by Sexual Exploitation.
• Hidden Harm - Parental Drug and Alcohol Misuse.
• Runaways.
• An Introduction to Safeguarding Children
• Basic Awareness of Child Abuse and Neglect - Young People

The launch event at St Peter's House in Forster Square, Bradford, provided an opportunity for the BSCB training team to promote new learning opportunities to its partner agencies.
