Safeguarding Policies, Recruitment and the ISA
What do arts organisations have to do? TiPP is pleased to announce a series of half day training seminars that will focus on assisting arts organisations to prepare themselves for the changes in approaches to recruitment and vetting demanded by the Independent Safeguarding Authority.
The half day seminars will be delivered via a mixture of presentation, participatory exercises and group discussion and will address the following questions:
- How might the work of the recently established Independent Safeguarding Authority impact upon arts organisations?
- How do arts organisations effectively orientate their policies and approaches within the new legislative framework?
- What is expected of the Designated Person?
- What is a safeguarding policy and how does it differ from a child protection policy?
Please be aware, these training events assume that organisations already have a working Child Protection Policy (or similar) in place and are specifically aimed at company Designated Persons.
