Safeguarding of Children and Vulnerable Adults Checklist
by Natalie Burton, from the Community
This safeguarding checklist helps organizations protect children and vulnerable adults by verifying the essentials: a clear safeguarding policy and code of conduct; defined roles and responsibilities; safer recruitment with references, declarations, and DBS checks; induction and refresher training; supervision and appraisals; incident reporting and whistleblowing procedures; robust record keeping and retention; and GDPR compliance. It also promotes a transparent culture where staff can report concerns and encourages third‑party audit or accreditation. Suitable for health and social care providers, schools, charities, and any organization working with vulnerable persons.
