The resources were developed collaboratively by an NCVO-led partnership made up of expert organisations, created to deliver phase 1 of the Safeguarding Training Fund. Included in the resources is an explanation on what people recruiting into voluntary organisations/charities should think about during recruitment, including role descriptions, interviews, getting references and when to carry out criminal record checks.
