SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
19 February 2009 10.00 - 1.30 - Manchester Cathedral Visitor Centre, Manchester
Recent media coverage has once more emphasised the importance of ensuring the safety of children and young people. The new Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge will recognise organisations offering high-quality experiences with risk effectively managed. To achieve the Quality Badge, institutions need to have high child protection standards. GEM will be running training sessions on the Quality Badge scheme in early 2009, but these will not provide child protection or safeguarding training. This course will help you to meet the Child Protection standards needed for the Badge and to minimise risk in your organisations
