Safeguarding is all about the well being and safety of children and vulnerable adults.  It is also important that individuals do not put themselves in a position where allegations could be made against them.
A few things you might wish to consider for events:
* Ask the person responsible for the event what safeguarding issues there may be
* If giving a talk in a library, school or similar, ask the staff to advise on any safeguarding concerns
* Have two people or more to man your stall
* Avoid being alone with a child or vulnerable person at any time
* Volunteers who are under 18 or vulnerable need safeguarding measures for themselves as well as for the adults working/interacting with them
* Know what the contact details for safeguarding concerns are for your area (see [[Safeguarding Contacts]])
* Be aware of safeguarding issues (see [[Safeguarding FAQ]])
