Your Duty of Care

What is Duty of Care in Safeguarding?

Duty of care means responsible adults have a duty to protect children and young people from harm and promote their wellbeing. All responsible adults working with young people have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure their safety in all settings.

Safeguarding Children and Young People

Organisations involved with working with young people should strive to meet safeguarding and child protection guidelines.

• Establishing clear safeguarding policies and procedures
• Training staff and volunteers to recognise and respond to concerns and abuse
• Following safer recruitment practices
• Reviewing safeguarding policies regularly
• Staying up to date with guidance and best practice

Who is Responsible for Safeguarding?

Everyone who works with or comes into contact with children has a role in safeguarding. Organisations should have effective policies in place to ensure every child, regardless of background—is equally protected.
Staff and volunteers should know how to spot signs of harm, understand their responsibilities, and respond appropriately to concerns.
We offer a range of tools and guidance to help those new to safeguarding get started.

Online Safety

Every child has the right to be safe, and feel safe, online.
The digital world offers children and young people countless opportunities to connect, learn, and play. However, it also comes with potential risks.
That’s why it’s essential for anyone working or volunteering with children to have the knowledge and confidence to support their online safety.
Our guidance, training, and resources are here to help you create and maintain safer online environments for children and young people.
