Description

In this training course you learn how to develop a Safaguarding policy if you don’t have one yet. If you already have one this is your change to further develop it and learn from others. 

This is a hands-on and very practical training for organisations active in volunteering activities within the European Solidarity Corps who are ready and willing to create and hold safe environments for their volunteers. 

Are you interested in:

  • Learning how to develop your Safeguarding policy, starting from where you are right now? Or how to further develop your Safeguarding policy if you already have one?
  • Explore your role, boundaries and limitations in Safeguarding situations?
  • Have hands-on experiential learning experience of developing your Safeguarding policy through case studies, real-life scenarios, and practice-based exercises?

YES?
