Being a Child Safe Organisation
Child safety risks are not exclusive to a child’s personal environment. They can also occur from within organisations, and no part of the children's workforce is immune from having case examples. Organisations supporting children and families must be careful not to assume their organisation is child safe because of their passion for helping children and families. Being a child safe organisation requires active consideration and embedding a strong and sustained culture that safeguards everyone: children/young people, staff/volunteers and the organisation.
Although many organisations can share the same child safeguarding and protection capacity needs, no two organisations are alike. At Holistic Safeguarding, we specialise in tailored organisational safeguarding, helping organisations become child safe organisations. We help organisations embed child safety best practices and create a safeguarding culture. We can help organisations:
​
-
Demonstrate legislative compliance (e.g., with the Children’s Act 2014).
​​
-
Implement child safe organisation best practices.
​​
-
Set the foundations for or meet requirements for external child safeguarding accreditation.
