Safeguarding: Introduction
A short, accessible starting point for anyone who wants to understand what safeguarding means in practice. Perfect for inductions and annual refreshers, it explores the essentials of recognising, responding to and reporting concerns.
Tailored for volunteers across arts, culture and heritage settings, this version includes a dedicated module on the volunteer’s role in safeguarding, boundaries, and reporting responsibilities. Designed to help every volunteer feel confident and supported.
For those working directly with children, young people or adults at risk, this course goes further, covering the different types of abuse, managing disclosures, and safeguarding scenarios relevant to creative and cultural work.
Created for DSOs and DSLs, managers, and those overseeing policy or compliance, this in-depth course builds upon the foundational content and in addition explores online safety, consent and information sharing, codes of conduct, and how to embed safeguarding into everyday culture.
Each course combines clear, sector-relevant guidance with interactive learning – including videos, case studies, quizzes, puzzles and reflection activities to make learning active, engaging, and directly applicable to your role.
