Writing the safeguarding plan
Breaking the plan into sections will make it easier to write
Before you begin
There are a few things to consider before you begin writing the safeguarding plan:
decide who needs to be involved in the development of the plan - this might mean allowing additional time to engage with colleagues, participants, children and young people, partner agencies or funding providers
identify who will support and approve the plan at a senior management or board level
think about how you will create a sense of ownership of the plan across the organisation
