We help you keep your activities for children safe

The Safe Network helps you make sure you keep children safe when they are taking part in activities.

  • Are you confused about what you need to do to help keep the children in your activity safe?
  • Do you and your group know what to do if you are worried about a child who takes part in your activity?
  • Can you and your group benefit from free, professional training, so you can understand how to make your activity safer for children?

If you answered yes to any of the above, the Safe Network will be a valuable resource to you, whether you’re a group leader, worker, volunteer or parental helper.
