Safeguarding policies and procedures are vital for all organisations to use in their commitment to protecting children and adults at risk of harm from abuse.

An organisation’s safeguarding policy and procedure defines how it operates to safeguard children and adults at risk of harm in order to;

• provide staff and volunteers with the overarching principles that guide our approach to safeguarding.

• protect them from harm.
  
  If you trying to write or update your safeguarding policy and procedures and are not sure where to start, we have what you may be looking for! In this section you can download our example safeguarding policy and procedure documents. Then amend and adopt them for your needs. They are tailored to Suffolk and have Suffolk reporting processes in them.
