Why is safeguarding important for me?
Apprentices play a crucial role in safeguarding themselves and their peers within their training and workplace environments. Understanding their responsibilities in this area is vital to fostering a culture of safety and awareness.
Apprentices must familiarise themselves with safeguarding policies and procedures outlined by their training providers and employers.
This includes understanding what safeguarding means, types of abuse/neglect that can occur, and recognising the signs of potential issues.
Apprentices have a responsibility to communicate openly about any concerns they may have regarding their safety or safety of others. This involves feeling empowered to speak up if you experience any form of abuse, bullying, harassment, or unsafe practices.
What are some signs of abuse or neglect I should look out for?
Signs of abuse or neglect can vary but may include sudden changes in behaviour, unexplained injuries, withdrawal from social interactions, fear of certain individuals, or a decline in academic performance. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to report your concerns.
What should I do if I have a safeguarding concern?
If you have a safeguarding concern, it’s important to report it immediately to a trainer or supervisor. They will be able to provide guidance and take the necessary steps to address the issue.
