Understanding and Managing Child Safety Risks

‘Understanding and Managing Child Safety Risks’ is a 2-hour virtual classroom training program designed to help you explore practical tools and ideas to enhance your organisation’s risk culture and ensure that child safety risk management becomes common practice for everyone. We know that risk frameworks can be overwhelming, yet understanding how to best identify, assess, mitigate and manage child safety risks within your organisation is key to being child safe.

This program is suitable for operational staff involved in running services for children and young people. It is also recommended for those who manage front-facing staff or who have responsibility for keeping children safe via a child safeguarding portfolio, including CEOs, Senior Managers and Risk Managers.
