Help for your organisation to keep people safe.
A range of resources produced by the NSPCC for voluntary and community groups. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re reviewing existing processes, these resources can help.
This document is aimed at volunteers during the Coronavirus emergency performing the roles such as delivering shopping, prescriptions and telephone befrienders. It is not intended as a substitution for full training for carers, personal assistants and others working with vulnerable adults on a daily basis.
This document may only be used in terms of awareness whilst we are in the Covid-19 emergency and should not be used once this is over as 3VA and the East Sussex Training team offer comprehensive safeguarding training for all staff and volunteers who support East Sussex County Council residents.
Volunteering to help others is crucial in the response to coronavirus, but it is essential that it is done safely, both for your health and the health of others. Check out 3VA’s guide, which includes information about who and when you can volunteer, PPE, delivering food and other goods, accessing and handling cash, safeguarding and reporting concerns and more.
Keeping people safe is important. All organisations need to do safeguarding well. Everyone needs to be involved. This resource from NCVO will help you make plans and carry them out.
The East Sussex Safeguarding Adults Board ensures that local safeguarding arrangements are effective and takes account of the views of the local community.
The East Sussex Safeguarding Children Partnership acts as a forum for safeguarding partners and supports and enables all professionals working with children and families in East Sussex to work together.
