A MULTI-SKILLED ALLIANCE:
The safeguarding risks and issues are changing all the time, so there are no safeguarding experts. Instead, there are specialists who have a singular focus on safeguarding, bringing a unique set of skills and understanding to every organisation and situation. That is how we operate at The Safeguarding Alliance. We bring together a range of professionals from a diverse range of sectors, all of whom are passionate about safeguarding and have many years of experience in the field. We work with some of the world’s most high-profile organisations and are internationally renowned for our work helping to shape safeguarding practice.
AN INTERNATIONAL APPROACH:
Our Alliance consists of organisations from around the world who share a mutual passion and drive to put an end to safeguarding failings. We work with governments and organisations across the world, and act on an international level to encourage global standards and practices. We research, develop and promote policy and deliver education and training, all with the aim of driving forward safeguarding excellence.
