Join us for this 90-minute lunch and learn session, designed to deliver practical insights in a relaxed and accessible way. These sessions focus on providing valuable information and tools to apply in your work, all while allowing you the flexibility to participate as you choose.

Whether you’re able to actively engage or simply listen in while enjoying your lunch, this session is tailored to suit your needs. While cameras and microphones are optional, you’ll still have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with others if you wish. Think of it as a chance to pause, reflect, and absorb new ideas - all without disrupting your day.

This training is specifically tailored for those involved in hiring within the creative, cultural, and heritage sectors. Whether you are recruiting staff, freelancers, or volunteers, understanding how to implement safer recruitment practices is essential to creating a safer working environment.

In this session, you will:

  • Understand the key principles of safer recruitment and why they matter in safeguarding.
  • Learn practical steps to strengthen the recruitment process, from job descriptions to final selection.
  • Consider potential safeguarding risks which will inform your hiring decisions.
  • Gain confidence in applying best practices when recruiting staff, freelancers, and volunteers.

This session will help you embed safeguarding into your recruitment approach, ensuring that those working with children, young people, and adults at risk are safe and suitable for their roles.

When: Tuesday, 1 July, 12.00-1.30pm – Online via Zoom

Cost: £49 per person
