Safeguarding children, young people, adults and families remains a priority for all of us. Help us to make Safeguarding Week a success by showcasing and celebrating the fantastic work that you do to protect and safeguard all people in Leeds.

This is an opportunity for all organisations to celebrate and share good practice and raise awareness of the services you provide to protect and support families and promote this across the city.

• Leeds Safeguarding Children Partnership have compiled a list of useful resources for staff to access, such as informative videos and links to materials, as well as delivering their usual selection of training courses. Please visit the LSCP website here.
• Leeds Safeguarding Adults Board are providing key messages around the self-neglect of vulnerable adults.
• Safer Leeds are sharing a range of messages across social media to raise public awareness about some of the key community safety issues in the city.  Additional sources of information can be found on the Leeds Domestic Violence and Abuse website.
• WY Police also offers lots of information and advice around child protection.

Throughout the week we will be active on social media and invite all our partners to post information on their own activities using the hashtag #safeguardingweek. Help us to promote the week by using all the materials which are now available for you to download.

To mark the week, The National Lottery West Yorkshire and York Safeguarding Training Fund Partnership and the Leeds Crime Reduction Network will be hosting a free talk on Cybertrauma and the Online Harms Bill by Catherine Knibbs on 23 June at 11:00. Book your place HERE.
