Course content: Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and knowing what to do can make all the difference.

This practical, supportive course, for front-line staff and volunteers, will give you the knowledge and confidence to respond appropriately and responsibly to disclosures.

What we will cover:

• What safeguarding really means – understand the purpose of safeguarding and why it is central to your role
• Key principles – learn the foundations that guide good practice and keep people safe
• Responding to a disclosure – know how to listen, respond and act if someone shares a concern with you
• Recognising abuse – build awareness of different types of abuse and the signs to look out for
• Confidentiality – learn how to handle sensitive information responsibly, when to share (or not share) and why

The course creates a safe space to learn, ask questions and build confidence.

In-house option: if you would like to train several members of your team, you can arrange in-house training just for your organisation and it will be tailored to your current position.

This course is perfect for: staff or volunteers working directly with members of the public, or supervising those who do, and anyone who is likely to be the first point of contact for a disclosure.
