Safeguarding: What Should a Trustee Know? - Charity Trustees' Week 2024

Safeguarding: What Should a Trustee Know?

As part of Charity Trustees' Week 2024, Dóchas will host a webinar titled “Safeguarding: What Should a Trustee Know?”. This webinar will take place on Tuesday November 12th from 11am - 12.30pm.  

This event will focus on how trustees can help ensure that safeguarding is a key organisational priority, and explain their role in building and maintaining a strong safeguarding culture.

It is becoming more common for organisations in the sector to appoint a focal point at Board level, with responsibility for ensuring safeguarding is given sufficient focus. During a panel discussion we will hear from a board member with responsibility for safeguarding, a member CEO who will speak to the importance of executive leadership in promoting safeguarding from the top, and a safeguarding expert from the Dóchas Safeguarding Working Group on best practice in their field. More details on speakers will be available soon. 

This event is free of charge and all are welcome to join.
