Community Sector Training works in partnership with the community to ensure local groups have access to free training in safeguarding children and adults for volunteers and staff. CST’s support enables groups to provide activities and services, helps them create a safe environment and strengthens their ability to access external funding. It supports the preventative approach of regional safeguarding policies, creating ‘safeguarding aware communities’ and ‘safeguarding sound’ organisations.
