Information, Advice and Guidance for Safeguarding

We believe that Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. We want to help everyone to play a part in helping vulnerable people, learners, colleagues, friends, families and communities to be safe by knowing the potential sources of harm, the signs to look out for, where to get help and how to report concerns.
