The training is provided by the Sheffield Children Safeguarding Partnership, South Yorkshire Police and Trading Standards.

Together we explore safeguarding risk management in business settings such as shops, bars, pubs, takeaways, cafes, events, night clubs, sport and entertainment venues and a range of other places where children and young people go.  Topics include:

• your legal and social responsibilities and partnership work (licensed/unlicensed businesses)
• managing risk around alcohol and other age restricted products
• what happens if things go wrong: the consequences of breaking the law; due diligence and protecting your business
• children who work/volunteer/perform
• providing a family friendly environment
• substance misuse
• harmful gambling
• child criminal and sexual exploitation
• police violent incident protocol
• drink spiking. 
• How to develop your safeguarding risk management plan
• The role of the safeguarding lead/coordinator
• How to report safeguarding concerns

We will also discuss partnership campaigns in the city.  There’s no cost, the training is free of charge.  The training is provided as e-learning so it is available to you and your staff online at anytime.
