This was led by Shirley Jones, former SIGBI Designated Safeguarding Officer to review, revise and develop the SIGBI Safeguarding documentation.\u00a0 This was to ensure the requirements of the Charities Commission are met.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The SIGBI Board finalised the following documents in July 2023:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Safeguarding Policy<\/li>\n<li>Safeguarding Procedure<\/li>\n<li>Safeguarding Guidance<\/li>\n<li>Risk Assessment Tool<\/li>\n<li>Information on Patterns of Abuse and Indicators<\/li>\n<li>Safeguarding Reporting Form<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Risk Assessment Tool &#8211; is a new document and should be considered for all events\/Programme Action such as working supporting children at school,\u00a0 working in care homes.
