This online training will take place live via Zoom. The duration of the course is 2.5 hours.

Understand your safeguarding duties as a trustee – and what good governance looks like in practice.

This 2.5 hour training session is designed for trustees, board members, and those in charity governance roles. It provides a clear, practical overview of your legal, strategic, and oversight responsibilities around safeguarding – whatever your organisation’s size or area of work.

The session is also recommended for CEOs, Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs), and senior leaders who work closely with boards. Attending together helps to build shared understanding, strengthen governance relationships, and ensure clear lines of accountability.

You will learn how to:

• Understand the UK framework of safeguarding legislation and guidance underpinning trustee duties

• Clarify the board’s role in overseeing safeguarding risk, systems, and assurance

• Create a safe and trusted culture within your organisation

• Understand how safeguarding fits within wider governance and leadership structures

• Recognise common blind spots and board-level pitfalls – and how to avoid them

• Know when and how to ask the right questions of staff or executive teams

Whether your organisation works directly with children, adults at risk, or operates in settings where safeguarding concerns may arise, this session will ensure board members and senior leaders are equipped to meet their responsibilities confidently and proportionately.

Optional extended Q&A: 30-minute safeguarding consultancy
Following the main 2-hour session, participants are invited to stay on for an additional 30-minute Q&A with the safeguarding consultant. This is a space to ask questions, explore challenges specific to your organisation, and get expert guidance in a supportive group setting.

Our training sessions are designed to deliver maximum value through live interaction, discussion, and engagement. Please note that the slide deck is a supporting tool for the session and will not be shared afterward. However, participants will have access to our resource portal, which includes additional materials and tools to support their learning. We also encourage participants to take notes during the session and are available to answer any follow-up questions.
