The North Wales Safeguarding Board is requesting that all agencies / individuals involved in safeguarding work across the region take the opportunity to consult on the National Safeguarding Training Standards.
We want your views and ideas about the proposed national safeguarding training standards, which have been co-produced by a multi-agency national development group and others.
The standards were developed because there:
- were no multi-agency national standards for safeguarding training in place
- was a lack of consistency in the design, content and provision of safeguarding training across organisations in Wales
- was confusion around the appropriate levels of safeguarding training for the workforce.
The standards will help organisations make sure:
- they incorporate the standards for practitioners into their safeguarding policies and procedures
- practitioners understand their responsibilities relevant to the group they’re in and how to follow the relevant policies and procedures
- all practitioners have access to and comply with the Wales Safeguarding Procedures.
The consultation is open for eight weeks and will close at 11.59pm on 17 June 2022.
