Talking about safeguarding

This free NCVO guide covers the importance of using up-to-date and accurate language in safeguarding practice, explaining why terminology matters for those working in civil society. The bulk of the resource is a structured A–Z glossary of common safeguarding terms, making it a practical reference point for staff and volunteers who need to understand or communicate about safeguarding clearly. It is scoped specifically to safeguarding terminology and does not cover broader safeguarding procedures or policy frameworks.
