Training and Events

Access our multi-agency Safeguarding Training

The abuse and neglect of children at risk presents a significant learning challenge. It is imperative that frontline staff and volunteers have an understanding of the key themes of abuse and neglect and the frameworks in place to manage concerns.

Workers should have an awareness that abuse can affect children at different stages of their lives and that there are policies and procedures in place to support children who may be at risk.

If you are interested in training related to safeguarding adults please visit safeguarding adults training.
