How Will An Independent Audit Help Your Organisation?
For many organisations, internal audits provide valuable feedback but may not give a complete picture of your organisation’s overall safeguarding culture. Independent audits offer a fresh perspective that can build on or bridge gaps in internal auditing processes.
Not only do we have a wealth of experience in this area, but we are committed to providing an unbiased and thorough audit report. We go beyond the surface, delving into critical aspects such as staff understanding, record keeping, and site visits to identify areas where risks may lie. We can also help with any areas of responsibility that are not fully aligned in accordance with Child Safe principles, such as training, policies or recruitment.
Key Components of Our Safeguarding Audits
Our audits encompass an in-depth review of your safeguarding policies and procedures, with a keen eye on governance and compliance. We act as an external review mechanism, offering an unbiased perspective to enhance the integrity of your safeguarding processes.
Whether you are an organisation with limited time to assess and implement policies, a new organisation looking to get started, or an organisation seeking improvement after an incident, we tailor our support to meet your unique needs. We will work closely with key stakeholders to ensure they know which areas require further development.
