Guides for specific aspects of safeguarding

This NCVO guide addresses specific operational aspects of safeguarding for voluntary organisations, grouped into three main areas: DBS checks (including how to decide which checks to carry out, checks for trustees and overseas workers, handling criminal records, and keeping information safe), whistleblowing (covering what it involves, how to decide to whistleblow, and common challenges), and talking about safeguarding (explaining why language matters and defining common terminology). It is freely accessible to all users and is particularly useful for small charities and community groups building or reviewing their safeguarding procedures. The guide does not appear to cover broader safeguarding policy frameworks or sector-specific regulated activities in depth.
