Safe Practices
We recommend that all your team members are trained in child protection issues and are given tools to recognise child abuse. All team leaders should be trained in how to support their team members, run safe programmes, respond well in emergency situations and ensure safe environments. For more information, see our Safety web page

Special Needs
