Safeguarding Week

Free programme of learning sessions to mark Safeguarding Week 16 June to 20 June 2025.

A programme of free online sessions is now open to the public to mark this year’s Safeguarding Week, which begins on Monday 16 June.

Partners from Safeguarding Adults Boards, Children’s Safeguarding Partnerships, Community Safety Partnerships across North Yorkshire, City of York, Hull and East Riding have come together and developed an extensive programme of learning events, seminars and interactive sessions which all underpin this year’s theme - “Safeguarding is everybody’s business”.

Spurred on by the success of Safeguarding Week 2024, partners have worked to extend the range of topics being covered this year.

While a number of the sessions are open only to professionals working in the safeguarding sector, the week-long programme of more than 66 sessions caters for members of the public too who want to learn more about safeguarding.

These cover a range of topics including suicide prevention, support for children and young people impacted by domestic abuse, signs of radicalisation, keeping children safe online, fraud awareness and protection, the power of the bystander amongst many other safeguarding areas.

The full programme of events, which will take place between Monday 16 June to Friday 20 June, is open for viewing on the North Yorkshire Safeguarding Children Partnership website and early registration is recommended to avoid disappointment.

All the agencies involved will be sharing information across their social media channels and website in the run up to Safeguarding week and throughout the week. To follow along look for the hashtag #safeguardingweek2025.
