safeguarding audits

Safeguarding audits are evaluations conducted to assess how well organizations protect vulnerable individuals, such as children and those at risk, from harm and abuse. These audits examine policies, practices, and procedures to ensure they meet legal requirements and follow best practices. They involve reviewing documentation, interviewing staff, and assessing training effectiveness. The goal is to identify areas for improvement, ensure accountability, and enhance the safety and well-being of individuals within the organization. Regular audits help maintain high standards of safeguarding and demonstrate a commitment to protecting those in care.
