The course may be more widely relevant to representatives from funding teams who are responsible for embedding safeguarding in grant making practices. Please note, this course does not cover basic safeguarding principles and concepts so participants should have a good foundational understanding of safeguarding.

FSC members benefit from a discounted booking rate of £300 per day or £500 for both days.

Please note that, to ensure as many organisations as possible can access this training, registrations are limited to a maximum of two people per organisation. We will, however, keep a waiting list in case additional places become available.
