Safeguarding Policy and Procedures
No organisation working with children and/or adults at risk can operate without due regard to its safeguarding responsibilities. A clear understanding of the key duties, behaviours and outcomes is vital in maintaining your organisation’s reputation and reducing risk.

This safeguarding policy and procedure online training course is for committee members/trustees, safeguarding designated person/s and anyone else who is responsible for developing and implementing safeguarding policies and procedures that are fit for purpose.

Safeguarding policy and procedure
E-learning has revolutionised how individuals (personally and in business) learn. There are a number of reasons why people gravitate towards e-learning programs, including:
- Immediate access, no waiting times (on-demand availability)
- Anytime, anywhere mobile learning – desktop, laptop or tablet (mobility)
- Self-paced, interactive and more engaging learning (learner perspective)
- Less disruptive delivery (in contrast to classroom)
- Cost-effectiveness (particularly when reaching out to a large audience)
- Consistency of message and easy updating of content
- Easy tracking of learner progress and completion (business perspective)
- Lower carbon footprint.
