Small, community based organisations can't always effectively mitigate their safeguarding risks purely as a result of their size.  These risks are often elevated for a range of reasons and are held by individuals without support or assurance that processes are working as effectively as they should.  Large organisations and those with mandated safeguarding requirements manage these risks through their internal safeguarding governance frameworks.  

Keep Equip will help you protect your people by strengthening your safeguarding governance and improving accountability and practice.  

It will reduce the opportunities for abuse, bullying, neglect and exploitation to happen to your people, inside and outside your organisation, and gives a stronger voice to everyone involved.  In turn, more people will have a safer, happier experience of your organisation as a result of your commitment to safeguarding. 

It's for you, the local community heroes: the activity providers, the inspirers, the tutors, the coaches, the community makers and the independent healthcare providers. 

These guys are the heroes, providing services for children and adults, some of whom will have vulnerabilities.

And yet these heroes are carrying the greater share of the risk. 

You often won't have the governance structures or resources to provide you with assurance that your organisation's safeguarding practice is effective.  That's why giving you the same tools that large organisations take for granted makes sense.

Keep Equip is an affordable, bolt-on safeguarding framework to support your practice, giving you the benefits of large-organisation governance.

Large organisation safeguarding governance, in an affordable, no-nonsense package!

You want everyone involved in your organisation to understand how committed you are to safeguarding.

Its a great way to show parents, carers, and prospective volunteers that safeguarding matters.  We verify the mark on our Quality Mark Verification page to show who deserves it.
