Responsibilities in Safeguarding

To keep a focus on the importance of Safeguarding during these uncertain times, CADA NI is hosting two Safeguarding webinars for our members and other INGOs with a base in Northern Ireland. The sessions will be Northern Ireland specific, with input from the Charity Commission for NI.

Registration is now open for our two Safeguarding Workshops, catered to INGOS, on 18th and 19th March. See instructions below to register for tickets.

The Adult Safeguarding Champion role combines responsibility for strategy, operations and oversight for an organisation in relation to adults at risk of harm under “Adult Safeguarding: Prevention and Protection in Partnership” (2015) and the “Adult Safeguarding Operational Procedures” (2016).  Some organisations will also have Appointed Persons, with delegated responsibility for day to day adult safeguarding operations.

This is a basic awareness course for those working with children, young people and adults at risk.

This course is aimed at individuals who recruit, manage or supervise staff and volunteers working with children and/or adults.

This is a half day basic awareness course for those working with children and young people.

This one day certificated training is suitable for Designated and Deputy Designated Officers.

This certificated training course is suitable for staff and volunteers who have regular and/or direct contact with children and young people (e.g. supervisor, leader, officer in charge).  It will assist staff and volunteers with meeting good practice standards in safeguarding children and young people.

This webinar is for anyone who holds responsibility, oversight and decision-making powers within their church, charity or organisation, usually in a leadership role. The course will equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to identify, assess and manage risk whilst supporting known offenders and those whose behaviour may be cause for concern.

This course is for those working internationally and is based on the findings of our recent research into international Christian work. It will help you to understand your safeguarding responsibilities and improve safeguarding practice in your own context. This course is ideal for those who may oversee partnership relationships with organisations overseas, recruit and equip individuals to undertake mission trips to overseas partner projects, or for individuals undertaking mission trips themselves. We will explore the complexities and challenges of safeguarding in an international context and look at how to equip individuals effectively as well as how to build capacity.

This course is for those with a responsibility for implementing safer recruitment processes in their organisations, whether churches, faith-based organisations, charities, community groups, local authorities or other organisations providing a service to children, young people and adults. It covers the safer recruitment processes, decision making, and developing safer cultures. The aim of this course is to understand the need for Safer Recruitment through the recruitment process.

This webinar will explore the issue of spiritual abuse in the Church and Christian organisations. It will look at how to respond well, the importance of policy and procedure and the characteristics of a healthy Christian culture. This learning will facilitate a better understanding and underpin effective prevention and response.
