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
- When asked to work with children or vulnerable adults, confirm that safeguarding has been considered by all parties
- 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 for some suggestions)
- Be aware of safeguarding issues (see Safeguarding FAQ for some points)
