Were you able to identify the range of tasks and responsibilities your organisation expects of you as Safeguarding Lead? Are these detailed or more general? Do you have a specific description for the Safeguarding Lead role or is it just added to another role you currently hold?

Whatever you identified, don’t worry – this training will help you and your organisation develop and build on this. As you work through the course, you will notice actions or responsibilities that you should note and perhaps add to your role description.
