Charities and Public Sector Safeguarding is everyone's responsiblity

Praesidio offer a range of safeguarding consultancy services that fit your needs and we hope to share our knowledge with you to provide you with confidence and reassurance about how your organisation is running.

We offer reviews of historical cases to identify outstanding safeguarding issues within casework and assist in planning and recommendations to develop safer settings moving forwards. We also offer knowledge sharing on the latest understanding of the threat posed by offenders and clear tactical advice on how charities can strengthen their services and make them safer.

We offer a range of safeguarding services:

Case reviews of historic cases and identification of outstanding safeguarding actions including any onward referrals to be made

Face to face training or input with groups of staff, in small group sessions or larger group

Reassurance around the latest issues, offering resilience against the latest threats and concerns and sharing understanding of the latest safeguarding requirements for your organisation
Specialist knowledge of online threats and international cases

“We know that offenders often target charities and NGOs because organisations working under pressure may not be in a position to provide as much supervision or scrutiny. Reversing this dynamic is about good policy and procedures, clear standards and frameworks for safeguarding but it is above all about the culture you choose to build. Praesidio will help you make your organisation an unworkable place for those who want to abuse others”.
