As a leading child protection charity dedicated to keeping children safe, SAFEchild regularly works with statutory bodies such as the police, children's social care services, health, probation, youth offending and local Safeguarding Children Boards. Uniquely, SAFEchild offers a one-stop-shop approach to child protection, offering online child protection training, risk assessment guidance, child protection policy templates, CRB checks, face-to-face child protection training, seminars and child protection guidance. Consequently, since 1999, over 18,000 people have attended our training courses and there are over 2000 member organisations.
