About the standards
The Safe Network's, National Core Children’s Safeguarding Standards and accompanying guidance will shortly be ready for distribution. Designed to be accessible and easy to use, with a wealth of accompanying templates and examples that can be easily adapted, they are aimed primarily at smaller third sector groups and organisations with limited resources.
The standards are intended to help groups and organisations ensure that the work they do with children is:
as safe as possible
enjoyable and rewarding for all involved
compliant with legislation
They cover the four key areas with which the Safe Network is engaged:
The resource will contain an interactive self-assessment tool so that organisations can check on their current progress and can decide where to focus their energy to develop their safeguarding work further.
Further information about the standards
A large number of groups and individuals (including children, young people, parents and carers) have contributed to the creation of the standards. We are looking forward to sharing this new resource with you at this conference and at other events designed to support their dissemination’
