A clear, practical introduction to safeguarding for those working across the creative, cultural and heritage sectors, and the most suitable option for annual refresher training.

Safeguarding is a core responsibility and legal requirement for creative, cultural and heritage organisations. This session provides a solid grounding in safeguarding essentials, alongside real-world insight into how safeguarding applies in organisational settings such as museums, galleries, theatres, music organisations and participatory arts contexts.

This course is designed as the entry point to safeguarding training with Artswork Professional Development, and as a proportionate annual refresh for those who have previously completed safeguarding training.

In this concise online course, you will:

  • Understand the background to safeguarding and why it matters in creative and cultural settings
  • Explore key categories of abuse and how concerns may present in practice
  • Consider safeguarding concerns within your own working context
  • Develop confidence in responding appropriately to disclosures
  • Strengthen your understanding of everyday safeguarding responsibilities

Why attend

This course offers a practical, accessible overview of safeguarding that is grounded in the realities of creative and cultural work. It is designed to support both first-time learners and those refreshing their safeguarding knowledge, helping ensure practice remains current, confident and proportionate.

Ideal for

Anyone working in creative, cultural or heritage organisations who needs a clear introduction to safeguarding, or an annual refresher. This includes staff, freelancers and volunteers who work directly with children, young people or adults at risk of harm.
