Protecting and safeguarding people is a governance priority for all charities.

Government guidelines make clear that safeguarding is a fundamental part of operating as a charity for the public benefit and that trustees must take reasonable steps to protect from harm people who are in contact with your organisation.

At Hackney CVS we support organisations to understand the role that they play in protecting service users.
