Safeguarding Responsibilities for Trustees and Management Committees

Ensuring safety for all

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and as a trustee or member of a management committee, you play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of everyone involved with your organisation.

This online workshop is designed to empower you and give you the confidence to effectively address safeguarding concerns. It will help you stay up to date with the latest safeguarding governance and demonstrate your commitment to the wellbeing of your beneficiaries, volunteers, staff, and visitors.

This training is also useful for village hall management committees and will help all organisations meet the Charity Good Governance Code.

Take the lead in creating a safe and secure environment for all and make a positive impact in your community. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to strengthen your safeguarding practices and ensure you are doing everything possible to protect others.

What will you learn?

Participants will develop their knowledge and understanding of:

  • Safeguarding duties and responsibilities within your organisation
  • A Designated Safeguarding Lead and what this involves
  • What you need to do to comply with good safeguarding practice
  • How to access a range of up-to-date resources on good practice
  • Beyond the session, how to access further support on safeguarding policy and procedure.

You will leave the training with practical tools to help increase the effectiveness of your organisation or group.

This training is suitable for trustees and members of management committees who want to develop an understanding of safeguarding matters.

Please note this training is aimed at voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations and groups based in North Yorkshire or delivering services within North Yorkshire.
