Safeguarding Training for Leadership Groups - Part 2

Thursday 8th July, 16:00 - 17:30.


Join us for Learning Thursdays, a free weekly online learning opportunity for Citizens UK leaders and member institutions.

This session is the second in a two-part series for leaders. Every Chapter must be represented across this training.

Safeguarding is fundamental to our work - every Citizens UK Chapter and project must have at least one Safeguarding Lead. To be a Lead you don't have to be a safeguarding expert - after all, safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. The role of a Safeguarding Lead is to understand Citizens UK's policies on safeguarding, and to be able to communicate these to the rest of your Leadership Team.

If you are a Safeguarding Lead for your Chapter or project, or would like to learn more about our safeguarding policies please sign-up using the form opposite. There will be ample space for discussion, as we hope to hear your thoughts on what works in your Chapter or member institutions and what additional support you might need going forward.

Our previous session provided a refresher on What is Safeguarding. You can watch this here.

This session will focus in more depth on how and where to report safeguarding concerns within Citizens UK, and the role of a Citizens UK Safeguarding Lead. We will also use scenario-based discussions to think about situations that may arise in your chapter and how to deal with them.

This training will be led by Citizens UK Safeguarding Officer Jawed Neshat, and Louise Willis-Keeler - CEO and Founder of specialist safeguarding consultancy Psych-Logical.

Register by filling in your details and you will receive the Zoom link for the session. Please remember to tell us which Citizens chapter you are a member of, or for which your institution is thinking of joining.

We look forward to seeing you there!
