Keeping Children and Vulnerable Adults Safe

Course Details
This course is part of the new DART training programme , which is only for artists and arts workers in Greater Manchester
The aim of this training event is to ensure that individual artists and arts workers know what they have to do to meet the demands of legislation regarding children and vulnerable groups, and to provide guidance and tips on how to do this.
Who is it for?
This course is suitable for individual artists, workers in arts organisations and local authority Arts Officers - anyone who has a responsibility for arts provision for children and/or vulnerable groups, from visual arts workshops to music festivals to arts and heritage venues.
Outline
Using a range of techniques and a participatory style, the course will cover:
- The legislation and guidance
- The new provisions under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act
- The practicalities of interacting with children
- Your environment
- The public’s perception
- CRB and ISA disclosures
- Freelancers, facilitators and volunteers
- Examining job descriptions and remits
- What to do in case of a problem
- Producing your policy and your guidelines.
At the end of the day participants will be clear about how to manage the demands of relevant legislation to meet the particular needs of their service/organisation, and have confidence that they will be able to do as much as possible to keep children, vulnerable groups, staff and volunteers as safe as possible.
