What is perinatal mental health and fathers?&nbsp;The term &lsquo;perinatal&rsquo; refers to the period of time around childbirth. Interpretations of the timeframe of this period vary; in some cases, it includes the time before conception until two years after an infant has been born. In the UK, the First 1001 Days Movement raises awareness of the developmental significance of the first two and a half years of a child&rsquo;s life.In the course we explain:High risk of suicide in new fathers.The impact on the partner and the development of the child.PTSD, Perinatal Anxiety and Depression in fathers.&nbsp;Signs, Symptoms and how to engage with fathers.&nbsp;Importance of bonding and attachment with father - baby.Biological risk factors&nbsp;

This CPD accredited Threat Management TACCP course is typically completed as a bolt-on to the BRCGS Vulnerability Assessment for Food Fraud (VAFF) course, though it can be attended as a stand alone course. It looks at the various methodologies for risk assessing and managing threats which could be malicious or fraudulent in nature.While the BRCGS VAFF course specifically covers fraud, TACCP is not included and so this course is complimentary and gives attendees of both courses a comprehensive qualification.&nbsp;Attendees will receive an STC certificate of achievement for TACCP on successful completion of the course assignment (which is typically combined with the BRCGS VAFF assignment if attended as a bolt-on course, but can also be completed alone).A number of tools, tips and templates are provided so that attendees can confidently produce meaningful risk assessments and implement sensible and effective control measures.This course has been accredited by the CPD Accreditation Office for delivery, structure and content.By the end of this course you will:<ul style="color: rgb(var(--color_25)); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(var(--color_25));"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Understand TACCP &ndash; threat assessment and threat management</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Know and be able to apply the risk assessment methodologies</li></ul>
