The detailed safeguarding resources (SRs) that you may need in particular circumstances are listed below. Those which require details to be entered are also provided as Word documents for completing digitally if you prefer.

Please return to this web page and use its links whenever you need to find something. That way, you will always have the most up-to-date version of any document. Some contact details have changed since the last review so it is important to use the current versions. Check the Version List if you wish to see which these are.

We want to make it easy for you to have a basic understanding of safeguarding and what we are committed to do. So, first look through SR1 The Basics – this section is for everyone.
