12: Nominated child protection lead overview

This summer, we are releasing a compilation of episodes on key topics related to safeguarding children and young people within your community.  

Learn more about:

• building a safer culture in your organisation
• how to deal with and respond to concerns about a young person or adult
• making the nominated lead role visible to children, staff and parents so they know who to go to for support
• training and development needs, including supervision and support for nominated leads
• the importance of establishing multi-agency relationships.

These episodes were produced as part of a partnership led by NCVO, funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the National Lottery Fund within the Safeguarding Training Fund programme.
