Safeguarding in Leadership for the Creative, Cultural & Heritage Sectors
This advanced-level course is tailored to Designated Safeguarding Officers (DSOs) and senior leadership teams who are responsible for developing, writing, and implementing safeguarding policies and procedures. It provides the strategic insight and practical tools necessary to build and sustain a strong safeguarding culture within organisations.
Attendees are expected to have a thorough understanding of essential safeguarding principles - including categories of abuse and managing disclosures - as these topics will be referenced but not covered in detail.
