Are you the go-to person for safeguarding in your group or organisation?

Maybe you are the Safeguarding Lead, Safeguarding Officer, Designated Person for Safeguarding, Welfare Officer or Designated Safeguarding Officer.

The role of Designated Person for Safeguarding (DP) is a challenging one, but is vital in protecting your organisation, its staff and volunteers and the people you work with.
