National safeguarding learning, development and training framework now available

We’ve published a new learning, training and development framework to help people who have safeguarding responsibilities in Wales.

The new framework was launched at a special event during National Safeguarding Week.

It’s an addition to the National safeguarding learning, training and development standards launched last year.

The framework includes guidance and breakdowns of the amount and types of safeguarding training that can help practitioners and organisations improve safeguarding in Wales.

We developed the framework with the Regional Safeguarding Boards, which are responsible for the Wales Safeguarding Procedures.

The Boards have members from different agencies with safeguarding responsibilities, including the police, education, health and social care.

Sue Evans, our Chief Executive, said:

Lance Carver, Director of Social Services at Vale of Glamorgan Council and Chair of the Wales Safeguarding Procedures Project Board, said:

You can watch a recording of the launch event on the framework webpage.

The recording includes an address from Tony Young, Chair of the National Independent Safeguarding Board for Wales.

There’s also a question and answer session with Lance Carver, and Esyllt Crozier and Cheryl Stevens, Improvement and Development Managers for Safeguarding at Social Care Wales.
