In addition to Keeping Safe Roadshow training delivered by the Our Duty to Care team, Keeping Safe training is also delivered through a number of Keeping Safe Initiatives. These are partnerships of key voluntary, community, statutory and public sector organisations in a specific geographic area, which all have a remit and responsibility for safeguarding and training, and which have been set up to meet the increased demand for training on good practice in safeguarding children and young people.
Within each Keeping Safe Initiative there are teams of trainers who have been trained and assess by the Our Duty to Care team and supported to gain accreditation through Open College network to deliver Keeping Safe Training. They are managed, supported and quality assured by a coordinator to provide free, accessible Keeping Safe training programmes in their area. There are 3 Keeping Safe Initiatives in Northern Ireland - Belfast Trust, South Eastern Trust and Youthnet.
