Safeguarding and Risk Safeguarding looks at. . . the prevention of all types of harm. Safeguarding is more than having safer recruitment policies and procedures in place. It means having a culture of vigilance where all staff know their responsibilities and act accordingly and all learners are aware of what they can expect and what to do if they have concerns. This is about protecting them from significant harm and avoidable danger. This is not about eliminating all risk from the lives of young people ‘Safer Recruitment and Safeguarding Learners in the FE Sector’ Workshop Handbook – 2009 18 January 2022 | slide 5
