Additional ways to support your members

• Offer to review safeguarding and policy and procedures. In this process you should help them develop policies and procedures that meet the local safeguarding children board (LSCB) and local safeguarding adult board (SAB) requirements.
• Provide or refer to guidance on policy and procedure writing. If you decide to provide sample policies be very careful to make clear that organisations will need to adapt them to fit the specific risks of their organisation.
• Deliver or commission safeguarding training for your area. Planning your training has guidance on how. There is a growing need for training for leaders in how to encourage a safeguarding approach and creating a culture that keeps people safe.
• Reuse good practice from other organisations. For example, the Hackney CVS' Community Safeguarding Health Check (PDF).
