Safeguarding seminars

 

 

10 seminars focused on ‘Safeguarding the welfare of the child’ are being held across the nine regions of England between November 2009 and January 2010.

 

These whole-day events for cultural sector and children’s workforce professionals will provide guidance on the safeguarding of children and young people, in order to help create safer spaces and put effective child protection procedures in place. Key information will be provided about the new Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS) run by the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA).
