It includes everything an organisation can do to keep children and young people safe, including minimising the risk of harm and accidents and taking action to tackle safety concerns.In order to support voluntary, community and faith organisations to develop their safeguarding practices we have pulled together some resources that will offer you information around safeguarding, support you step by step in developing safeguarding policies and procedures and update you on things your organisation may need to know.
