Sacpa member safeguarding practice forums are free networking events for SACPA members and part of the SACPA mission to bring safeguarding leaders and practitioners together for mutual support and learning. 

Each month safeguarding leads, practitioners, senior leaders, trustees and governors to meet online to network around a specific safeguarding theme.  

This forum is open to SACPA member colleagues who have pre-booked and confirmed their place via the booking page function. 

Participants will receive a copy of the materials used, and if they wish a reflective learning log template can be provided. 

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?
