Workshop – Safeguarding, an introduction – Andrea Richards (LIVE on Zoom)

Online over Zoom

A whistlestop tour of all things safeguarding for both children and vulnerable adults in a morris seeting.  Aimed at teams who have under 18's or vulnerable adults, or are thinking of setting up a youth team.

We will cover: What is Safeguarding - whose responsibility is it? Why do we need to know? Safeguarding from what and who - and how? What to look for - and what to do. We will look at some of the law with a view to myth-busting some of the biggest misunderstandings. Children and vulnerable adults - is there a difference in what we need to consider and how we deal with it?
