This training is for staff, volunteers and trustees of organisations working in partnerships in Wales and Africa, who want to improve their safeguarding policy and practices. The training is for people who have not yet completed a Safeguarding training with Hub Cymru Africa, or who have completed training more than 2 years ago and want to refresh their knowledge. Completion of this training is a requirement for grantees receiving an award through the WCVA Wales Africa grant scheme. This training will take participants through the essential Safeguarding practices and requirements for organisations working in global solidarity with partners in Africa. The training will:
• Define Safeguarding within an international context, and within the context in Wales
• Explain global safeguarding standards and how to meet them
• Discuss situations and behaviours of safeguarding concern
• Explain the Safeguarding cycle, the three pillars of prevention, reporting and response and how to apply these in your organisation taking a survivor centred approach
• Share tools to assess risk, and identify gaps in practice
• Share templates for key documents that you will need to have in place to underpin best practice in prevention, response and reporting.
This training will take place online via Zoom, and is a participatory training. If you want to attend a training session but can’t make this date, please contact advice@hubcymruafrica.org.uk.
