To do safeguarding well takes a whole organisation. As a human resources (HR) director or manager, you and your team must play a leading role in establishing safeguarding throughout the organisations through its work in several areas.
- Strategy and policy development.
- Promoting a safeguarding culture.
- Supporting and monitoring internal and external reporting processes.
- Recruiting staff, volunteers and trustees.
This guide focuses on providing checklists and examples so that as you review or develop all your HR practices, you can make sure that safeguarding is a clear priority.
There are two sections.
- HR as a driver for safeguarding covers policies, processes and culture.
- Safeguarding from interview to exit is for use alongside our recruitment planning checklist.
