Safeguarding and protecting people for charities and trustees
What to do to protect people who come into contact with your charity through its work from abuse or mistreatment of any kind.
Manage the risks
Protecting people and safeguarding responsibilities should be a governance priority for all charities.
As part of fulfilling your trustee duties, you must take reasonable steps to protect people who come into contact with your charity from harm.
This includes:
- people who benefit from your charity’s work
- staff
- volunteers
It may also include other people who come into contact with your charity through its work.
