Child Protection Awareness in Music is a new online training programme aimed at anyone teaching music to children and young people. The Musicians Union  (MU) and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) devised the £15 course in partnership with the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music (ABRSM) and MusicLeader.

The course equips music teachers with a better understanding of their child protection responsibilities and describes ways to avoid situations that could lead to accusations of misconduct.

The course is available online at www.platinum.educare.co.uk/music
