Protect your organisation. Protect the people you serve. Strengthen your governance.

Safeguarding isn’t just a policy; it’s a core responsibility for every trustee. Whether your organisation supports children, vulnerable adults, or the wider community, trustees play a crucial role in ensuring safety, accountability, and trust. This lunchtime training session, led by safeguarding specialist Rachel Keenan, gives trustees the clarity and confidence they need to fulfil their legal and ethical duties.

Why This Training Matters

Safeguarding failures can have devastating consequences, not only for individuals at risk, but also for the reputation, registration, and stability of your organisation. Trustees must understand how to create safe environments, recognise risks, and ensure robust systems are in place. This training demystifies safeguarding and equips trustees with practical, actionable knowledge.
