Steps to a safer organisation

This NCVO guide provides a structured overview of how voluntary organisations can build a safer culture, covering seven core areas: integrating safeguarding into day-to-day activities, involving all staff and volunteers, safer recruitment and trustee checks, essential policies and procedures, clarifying roles and responsibilities, preparing people to recognise and respond to concerns, and understanding the risks of harm relevant to their beneficiaries. It is a free resource aimed at charities of all sizes looking to review or strengthen their safeguarding practice. The guide is broad in scope and signposts further detail on each topic rather than providing deep procedural guidance in a single document.
