Safeguarding in Action - Strengthening Oversight & Accountability in Charities

Introduction

Safeguarding is one of the most critical responsibilities for any charity. Failing to get it right can put people at risk and damage an organisation’s reputation.

This new virtual classroom seminar will explore how strong governance oversight can actively improve safeguarding practices. It will break down what effective supervision looks like and why it is essential for protecting those your charity serves.

Gain clarity on what registered charities, trustees, advisors, lawyers and accountants need to know to handle safeguarding incidents correctly. From identifying risks to ensuring proper reporting, this session will equip you with practical knowledge and confidence to act appropriately.
