Understanding and Responding to Runaway Children at FutureLearn Course details
- This four-week course aims to change the misunderstandings around running away, showing that it is not a problem behaviour, but a sign that something is wrong
- Once you've completed this course, you'll be able to better understand, respond to, protect, and support the children that you work with as a professional, who might be at risk of running away
- Over the duration of this course, you'll look at how different contexts and circumstances can lead to vulnerabilities and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) associated with running away
- You'll gain insight into the link between ACEs, trauma, and missing children, and will be able to identify patterns of behaviour and other risk factors for runaways
- Once you understand the risk factors for running away, you'll explore effective intervention and prevention strategies for children with a history of running away or that are at risk of running away
- You'll also look at the role of parents and carers, communities, and, most importantly, peers, in supportive responses for runaways and children at risk of running away
