         <title>Every voluntary sector organisation must have key documents that help it manage safeguarding well. You must have them if your organisation is a charity or if you work regularly with children or adults at risk. These documents set out what your organisation will do to keep people safe.You must make sure that everyone, no matter what their role, understands the documents and uses them in the day-to-day running of the organisation. Every year you must review how you’re doing and address areas for improvement that have come up.Your policy should cover all the key risks for the groups you work with and the activities you do.The amount of detail in your policies and how often you review them depends on what your charity does, where it works, who with, and the level of risk. Everyone, including your staff, volunteers and people you work with, should be aware of how you manage safeguarding. Your policy and procedures should be easily available, either online or on paper (or both).Keep a record of any changes you make to your safeguarding policy. You must have a clear plan of how you’ll make sure everyone knows about the changes and keep track of how effective they are.We recommend these resources to help you write your policy:Guide to writing a safeguarding policy statement for children (NSPCC Learning) Writing a safeguarding adults policy and procedure document (Ann Craft Trust)Reporting procedureYour safeguarding policy may contain several different procedures depending on your organisation and activities. However, you will always need a reporting procedure that clearly explains how people can make their worries known and how you will handle any problems.The reporting procedure needs to set out:who to speak tohow issues should be reportedwhere information will be stored and shared internallyhow you’ll share this with police, social services or regulators if necessary.More about reporting proceduresFor an introduction to drafting reporting procedures, see our recognise, respond, report pageIf you are your organisations Designated Safeguarding Lead and want detailed guidance on receiving, assessing and managing any safeguarding concerns, see our Designated Safeguarding Leads Handbook.Code of conductA code of conduct sets out your expectations of staff and volunteers. You should include clear expectations of what people should do and say, and what they must not. This will help raise awareness of illegal, unsafe, unprofessional and unwise behaviour. Being clear about standards of behaviour is an important part of safeguarding.What you should do with your code of conduct:Involve staff, volunteers and even your participants in creating the code so you can make sure people feel it protects everyone.Make sure everyone in the organisation is aware it applies to them and they must follow all its standards.Be clear about what will happen if someone doesn’t follow it.Include specific standards or expectations for roles with particular responsibilities if necessary.Keep a record to show that all your staff and volunteers have seen and understood it and agree to follow it.Make sure the code allows participants to question staff and volunteers if they think they’re doing something wrong.More about the importance of a good code of conductNeed an example? You can find pdfs of sample behaviour codes for children and adults (from NSPCC Learning) or NCVO members can use a sample code of conduct for trustees.For a reminder about the importance of using your code of conduct well see our code of conduct in day-to-day safeguarding section.A risk policy and registerCharity trustees and senior managers of organisations must regularly review what risks their organisation faces, including safeguarding risks. They must have a plan showing how they’ll manage those risks. You should do this by keeping an up-to-date risk register. This document shows that you have thought about how likely and severe risks are. It also covers how you plan to reduce those risks and helps you see how safeguarding sits alongside other risk management.See The Charity Commission guidance on risk management.NCVO members can use this risk register template.If you deliver an online service, use the digisafe guidance and templates to assess and mitigate risk.If you want practical advice on managing risks in specific places, activities, and with equipment and resources try the National Youth Agency Safeguarding and Risk Management Hub. Trustees’ annual reportEvery registered charity has to send an annual report and accounts to the Charity Commission. It’s good practice for charities of any size to include a risk management statement in their report. Where its income is over £500,000, it must include this by law.The risk management statement should state all major risks the charity faces and how it controls those risks. This will include safeguarding matters, especially if you regularly work with children or adults at risk or have had an increase of reports of harm in the organisation.Registered charities with income over £1 million must, by law, include extra information about fundraising in their trustees’ annual report. This statement must include details of its approach to fundraising and measures taken to protect the public, including vulnerable people, from unreasonably intrusive or persistent fundraising approaches, and undue pressure to donate. Look at the Charity Commission templates for your annual report.Related documents, policies and proceduresYou’ll need to think about the big picture and how your organisation’s mission statement, policies and procedures contribute to safeguarding.These links take you to more detailed and specific policies relating to safeguarding.To see if there is a specific guide that suits your organisation&#39;s work with children, look at safeguarding children for voluntary and community groups  (from NSPCC Learning)To see if there is a specific guide that suits your organisation&#39;s work with young people, look at the Safeguarding and Risk Management Hub (from the National Youth Agency).To see if there are policies that can be adapted or used as they are to strengthen your safeguarding framework from international development experience look at the Safeguarding policy templates (from BOND).Whoever you work with, use a checklist or framework that helps you pick the right guide for what you do.The following Knowhow links take you to templates for our members to use which help create a safer organisation.

         <title>1) RecogniseIn order to safeguard vulnerable adults and young people, you must know how to identify the signs and indicators of abuse and neglect. Training in spotting these signs can be very helpful, as distinguishing between behaviours can vary from person to person, whilst those certified in safeguarding training have also been taught the correct response to detect signs of abuse. Private dialogue with your organization&#39;s appointed safeguarding official is encouraged if a concern is raised about an individual to another staff member or the individual who may be suffering has approached a staff member other than the safeguarding lead.2) RespondRespond appropriately when you have a concern about abuse or neglect. Someone who has experienced or is experiencing some kind of abuse will likely be very vulnerable, so your behavior in dealing with this is crucial. You should remain calm and ask open questions, encouraging them to give just enough information to validate the claim. Whilst you should not make any promises about what will follow, you should take any allegation seriously and assure them that reporting their concerns was the right thing to do. Your safeguarding policy will detail the steps you should take to respond safely and effectively to any potential safeguarding issue.3) ReportYour organization should have a designated person responsible for dealing with safeguarding issues, whilst a deputy should also be appointed in the event that the designated safeguarding official is out of the office or the allegation is made against them. You should be able to find out who this person is in your safeguarding policy. Once you have responded to a safeguarding concern with the vulnerable person, you should report it immediately to your designated safeguarding lead, who will then take responsibility for acting upon the issue. You may check that the issue is being acted on appropriately, however, for the confidentiality of the person concerned, it may be unnecessary for the safeguarding lead to share further details with you.4) RecordEnsure you record everything you have seen or heard in relation to the issue. Complete memorization of every detail of the conversation is not expected, however, you should record exactly what the individual has alleged, using the individual&#39;s keywords and phrases. Record, as well, your own observations and interpretations, clearly distinguishing between your accounts and those of the individual raising the allegation, before passing it on to the safeguarding lead, who should keep it only accessible to responsible for safeguarding issues.5) ReferRefer your concerns to the correct authority. It&#39;s normally your designated safeguarding lead that will report this, so it&#39;s best to make sure you pass on everything you have. They should then decide on the appropriate action to take, perhaps consulting with the appropriate people, either inside the organization or outside, in order to arrive at a safe conclusion for the individual.Put someone&#39;s safety firstIf you spot anything that may be a safeguarding concern, or somebody else makes you aware of one, you must act on it immediately, in order to protect those who may be vulnerable. Ensuring you are aware of your organization&#39;s safeguarding official is a good way of making the process swifter in the event of a safeguarding issue arising in the future.</title>
