Course outline:
The SACPA Safeguarding Practice Forums are free networking sessions available exclusively to SACPA members. Aligned with SACPA’s mission to support safeguarding professionals, these monthly forums create a dedicated space for sharing knowledge, insights, and mutual encouragement.
Each session brings together safeguarding leads, practitioners, senior leaders, trustees, and governors to engage in meaningful discussion around a focused safeguarding theme. These virtual gatherings offer a valuable opportunity to stay connected, informed, and inspired within a supportive professional community.
Participation is open to SACPA members who have registered and received confirmation through our online booking system. If you are not already a SACPA member and want to benefit from networking with other safeguarding leads, did you know that professional membership pays for itself in as little as two out of the ten scheduled safeguarding practice forum sessions per year?
