The Safeguarding Standards for the youth sector are designed to support good safeguarding practices for all those working with children and young people.  This guidance document outlines best practice across the sector and provides a helpful framework to understand what good safeguarding looks like in different organisational contexts. One of the big additions this time is the new Health, Safety and Welfare section. They can be found here Safeguarding standards for the youth sector – National Youth Agency

They have also released a self-audit tool alongside the standards—something we have been developing behind the scenes. A big thanks to those of you who’ve helped shape it along the way. You can find the audit tool here Safeguarding hub self-audit tool – National Youth Agency
