Organisations across the region are using this week to raise awareness of safeguarding issues through staff briefings, events, training, campaigns and launches of protocols, guidance and toolkits.
Regionally, the Children and Adult Safeguarding Boards have produced a media clip to raise awareness that Safeguarding is Everybody’s Business – this clip was produced from the Police and Crime Commissioners Fund.
