Accountability

Organisations:

• are responsible for making sure their practitioners are competent to always carry out their safeguarding roles
• may have their own training, learning and development frameworks or strategies for practitioners to follow
• are responsible for measuring the quality of training, learning and development opportunities provided and making changes if they need to.

Practitioners:

• are responsible for recording their own learning and development
• need to share evidence of their learning and development with their employer, manager and professional body when required
• who are registered with a professional body need to meet the continuing professional development (CPD) requirements specified for them.

They’ll also work to any Code of Professional Practice and Conduct.
