If your group or organisation works with babies, children and young people or adults who are vulnerable then safeguarding training should be one of your top priorities. Everyone is entitled to live their lives free from harm, and (regardless of age, gender, religion or ethnicity) it’s important that all children and vulnerable adults can feel safe and protected.

​

Quality safeguarding training ensures you know what to do when you are concerned about a vulnerable person and gives you confidence to act when necessary. Good safeguarding training protects vulnerable people, protects staff and volunteers, protects your group or organisation and protects communities.

What people are saying about my training...

​

“We always receive good feedback on Caroline’s content and presentation.  Caroline is an excellent trainer and her work is of a very high standard. Recently, she has adjusted her training from face to face to using Zoom, adapting the training accordingly, and from my own experience of being a participant on the training, I felt the breakout rooms worked extremely well.”

Anne Lyall - CEO Northumberland CVA

   

"We were really delighted with the amount of bespoke information Caroline wove into the training which was specific to our area, it helped to tailor the training to our organisations needs and in our context. This helped us to think about the types of issues we would face locally and took the training from just information to how we would be able to ground what we had learned about into some real and live situations.  Caroline and her colleague were professional throughout and the delivery over Zoom meant we probably had more of our people attend then we would have had if the session had been in person.  We would highly recommend Caroline for anyone who needs their safeguarding training either for the first time or as a refresher."

 Fiona Coombs – South Kent

 

"Caroline Friend delivers excellent safeguarding training. As a charitable Community & Youth development organisation our team is made up of employed workers and volunteers spanning a wide spectrum of experience and knowledge. Caroline delivers in a manner that engages all and ensure that each participant leaves with the required level of theoretical knowledge and with legislation, policy and procedure explained with practical examples specific our practice, workers leave the training confident to deal with real life situations."

​​Hannah Moeini - Community@NE66

 

"Caroline has provided interesting and thought provoking Safeguarding training to our Youth Leaders and other volunteers. She supports and engages the participants throughout.  We would highly recommend her."
