The Hub provides guidance , support, advice and access to training resources for all organisations and individuals working with young people – whether you’re a volunteer, a trustee, a youth worker or an organisational lead.
Keeping young people safe should be the top priority of anyone working with them. It’s vital that the spaces they are in are safe and that the people they are in contact with are trustworthy. All content for the Safeguarding Hub is created and maintained by our safeguarding and risk experts.
