Introduction to Safeguarding
Learn how your organisation can protect people from harm, abuse or neglect.
Description
Safeguarding is the process of taking important steps to protect people from physical or emotional abuse, sexual assault, and other forms of abuse or neglect. It also means protecting the reputation of an organisation too.
