This session will cover the importance of having a safeguarding policy, understanding your responsibilities for safeguarding within your organisation and what to include in your safeguarding policy. 

It takes place during ACRE Safeguarding Week for community buildings and we would like to particularly encourage representatives of village halls and community centres to attend. It will help those using and managing buildings to have the knowledge and confidence to provide a safe environment for all. 

This session is also part of Safer Culture North East, a partnership between Catalyst Stockton-on-Tees, Connected Voice, Durham Community Action, Northumberland CVA and VONNE, funded jointly by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and the National Lottery Community Fund. 

This event will take place online and joining instructions will be sent prior to the session.

Attendance is free although booking in advance is required to secure places.
