The main learning and messages from this session are:
  1. Safeguarding Leads will either undertake risk assessments themselves, or provide support to other staff or volunteers in completing them.
  2. A risk assessment is not a one-off action but a live process which should be updated regularly. It includes continuous monitoring to reduce risks.
  3. A six-step risk assessment template was shared.
  4. Twelve main safer recruitment actions were identified.
  5. Reducing digital risks involves policies that cover protecting personal information, and includes standards of online behaviour in codes of conduct.
  6. The risks associated with images can be reduced by having informed consent from the people in the images.

When you are ready, move on to Session 3: Finalising policy and procedures, where you will look at policies, procedures, and codes of conduct in more detail.
