We're working together 

One of the things that we’re working towards is to build common standards for third sector (voluntary/non-profit) organisations.

We're working towards creating safeguarding standards. We're doing this by:

  • providing safeguarding advice through this website and the Are they safe? Pack 
  • mapping the range of safeguarding standards that already exist in the third sector and working in partnership with the people who develop and maintain them
  • working closely with, but independent of the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA ) 
  • working closely with the Child Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU) and the Childrens Workforce Development Council  (CWDC)
  • working with our delivery partners to make sure that relevant standards are available for all third sector organisations in contact with children
  • reaching out to organisations  that are particularly disadvantaged or that face discrimination, with the Are they safe? pack
  • sharing good practice through parenting organisations so that parents and young people know how to choose safe activities and know what to do if they have doubts.
