Safeguarding at Events

Page under construction

Safeguarding is all about the well being and safety of children and vulnerable adults. It is also important that individuals do not put themselves in a position where allegations could be made against them.

A few things you might wish to consider for events:

• Ask the person responsible for the event what safeguarding issues there may be
• If giving a talk in a library, school or similar, ask the staff to advise on any safeguarding concerns
• Have two people or more to man your stall
• Avoid being alone with a child or vulnerable person at any time
• Volunteers who are under 18 or vulnerable need safeguarding measures for themselves as well as for the adults working/interacting with them
• Know what the contact details for safeguarding concerns are for your area (see Safeguarding Contacts for some suggestions)
• Be aware of safeguarding issues (see Safeguarding FAQ for some points)
