Safeguarding in the VCSE Sector

Safeguarding is everyone’s business and effective safeguarding is more than just having a safeguarding policy, particularly in the current climate.

This session will help you to:

• Be more confident in understanding the wider context of safeguarding within the sector.
• Be aware of best practice, current issues and policies and how they can be embedded within your organisation.
• Reflect on current practice and identify areas of development. 
• Share knowledge and experience.
