Our eLearning Hub

Bringing together a range of learning courses to inspire and inform

Launched in December 2020, Children in Scotland’s eLearning Hub provides a range of online programmes in collaboration with organisations and services across Scotland’s children’s sector.

We’ve been lucky enough to partner with some brilliant organisations to create eLearning content to support the workforce.

The following courses are currently available on the Children in Scotland eLearning hub and all of these courses are free:

• Building Good Relationships with Children and Young People: This course will help you understand how you can build strong, meaningful and productive working relationships with the children and young people you work with.
• Participation with Children and Young People: This module will help you understand what participation is, why it is important and shares good practice techniques you can use to meaningfully engage the young people you work with.
• Children’s Rights: In light of the incorporation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (also known as UNCRC) into Scottish law, this course is designed to support you to develop your knowledge about children’s rights as well as the current policy and practice which helps to protect these rights in Scotland.
• My Rights, My Say: A short module designed to help teachers support children and young people with additional support needs in schools.
• The Fostering Network: Supporting care experienced young people in education in Scotland: The Fostering Network’s Young Advocates project
  Designed to support individuals to reflect and develop their knowledge and practice on how best to support care experienced young people in education in Scotland.

We also have the following courses launching in 2024:

• A module on understanding visual impairment in preschool children
• A module to support practitioners working with children and young people who have experienced trauma
• A module supporting practitioners experiencing vicarious trauma, burnout and/or compassion fatigue
• A module to enhance understanding and application of the Scottish Government's Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC) policy
