NCVO: Safeguarding essentials in charities (1 day)
All voluntary organisations have a duty to keep the people they work with safe from harm. This course introduces the basics of safeguarding within a charity context in England and highlights effective safeguarding practice.
Safeguarding is the range of measures to protect people within an organisation, or those they come into contact with, from abuse and maltreatment of any kind.
This course introduces:
- the legal duties of voluntary organisations
- how to actively prevent harm
- how to identify and respond effectively to people experiencing harm.
This course is for charity staff or volunteers responsible for safeguarding and those who would like to learn more. This may include charity leaders such as chief executives, directors, or volunteer managers.
