Safeguarding: it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect people from harm or abuse.
As a trustee, you have a responsibility to prioritise the safety of anyone who comes into contact with your organisation or group whether they are beneficiaries, volunteers, staff or visitors.
Event aims
This workshop focuses on developing trustees’ confidence in safeguarding matters, and ensuring that you are up to date with the latest good safeguarding governance, and your responsibility as a trustee.
This live, interactive training focuses on the role application of trustee duties in the context of safeguarding. Along with our other trustee training, we can support you in your role as trustee and ensure you are meeting the Charity Good Governance Code.
