NYSCP Designated Safeguarding Leads Conference 2025
Our 4th annual Designated Safeguarding Lead Conference took place on 23rd September at the Pavilions of Harrogate. This year’s conference had a theme of “working with ‘health’ in education”. The day was packed with inspiring speakers and workshops, and a multi-agency marketplace. Thank you to all who attended or supported the session.
We will start planning for the DSL conference in 2026 as soon as possible, but if you have any ideas for any topics you would like us to cover on the day, please email us at nyscp@northyorks.gov.uk.

Adult Safeguarding Training
Anyone who works with adults in the community, either as a paid worker or volunteer, has a role to play in safeguarding adults and promoting their health and wellbeing. They need to have the right skills and knowledge to work with people to help and protect them. A range of training courses has been developed to suit all levels of staff and volunteers from the statutory, voluntary and independent sectors.
These can be assessed through the North Yorkshire Safeguarding Adults Board.
