Hello Newcastle University recently prepared a policy for safeguarding under 18s and vulnerable adults. We are currently considering an implementation plan for this policy which will include consideration on how to make staff aware of key elements of the policy and provide appropriate training. I wondered if any of you have been involved with a similar initiative and what training was provided (and who delivered the training)? Helen Doyle would be happy to discuss this over the telephone if it is easier but it would be really helpful to hear about your experiences. Many thanks and kind regards.
