Multi-faith safeguarding hub launched

Safe Network is pleased to announce the launch of their new safeguarding resource for faith groups: the Multi-faith safeguarding hub.

This unique online resource produced by Safe Network and partners from across the faith and voluntary sector provides access to a range of information, resources, support and networking opportunities with a multi-faith focus.

The hub aims to encourage faith based groups and organisations to share good safeguarding practice with each other.

It covers the six main faiths in the UK; Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism as well as an Inter-faith section. Within each section you will find:

* a film showing personal faith statements and activities with children and young people
* faith-specific stories and texts which show how children and young people are valued
* safeguarding case scenarios
* examples of best practice
* information and resources
* details of specialist organisations or other relevant links.

The Multi-faith hub is suitable for:

* individuals with a safeguarding role ! in their faith setting
* support services, community groups or other organisations who engage with their faith sector on safeguarding issues
* local safeguarding children boards (LSCBs)
* anyone with an interest in safeguarding within a faith setting.

This online resource is FREE and can be accessed here.
