Working or volunteering with children

We all have a personal responsibility to notice when a child or young person may be being abused and pass on our concerns to someone who can act to protect them. Download our leaflet: Your duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

For information on the guidance and contact numbers for each agency's safeguarding advisor read, know your procedures to safeguard children.

Training programme

The Southwark safeguarding children board has a yearly training programme. The courses are for workers from all agencies and focus on how agencies can work better together to safeguard children. All courses are free but we do make a charge if people book a place and fail to attend.
