Safeguarding Essentials

Your Policy meets best practice standards, now what?

We can help you strengthen safeguarding procedures and practice in the following areas:

  • Understand the child safeguarding functions required by your Policy and structure your roles and responsibilities to deliver.

  • Ensure that your advertising, position descriptions, short listing, interviewing, reference checking, clearance and contracting processes reinforce your safeguarding commitments.

  • Review or create clear, child focused complaints processes.

  • Review or develop reporting procedures that ensure your organisation appropriately reports all concerns, disclosures, allegations or suspicions of harm.

  • Understand your risk profile and identify required next steps to create conditions that decrease the likelihood of harm occurring and increase the likelihood of identifying any harm.
