The All Wales Basic Safeguarding Training pack

This pack supports all workers in social care, the third sector and many other roles working with children or adults at risk. The pack aims to provide a consistent message of Safeguarding responsibilities across Wales allowing those who deliver Safeguarding training to tailor the delivery of the training depending on learner needs.
