Child Safeguarding Workshops

Our mission is to help more and more organisations develop and implement child safeguarding, putting it at the heart of everything they do. To further that aim we can create tailor-made workshops, delivered online for your trustees, senior management, staff and partners.

Online workshops are about 1.5 hours each. Lengthier subjects can be broken into modules, again about 1.5 hours each.

In future, post-pandemic, when in-house workshops become possible again, we will be able to set up much more comprehensive and interactive workshops that can be from one to five days, depending on your needs.

Whether your organisation just needs advice or guidance, or longer-term, individualised support, our experts will be able to advise and help.

To give you an idea of the kind of workshops we have created, below is a listing of a wide variety of subjects:

  • Safeguarding certification
  • Safeguarding certification of sports organisations
  • Safeguarding audits
  • Reviewing an organisation’s safeguarding policy/procedures against KCS standards
  • Safeguarding risk assessments of programmes (e.g., education, water and sanitation, health, sports, women’s empowerment, etc.)
