About This Event

Middlesbrough Voluntary Development Agency, or MVDA, is set to host a Safeguarding Children Training Course for Volunteers on Wednesday 9 September 2026, with the session commencing at 1pm. This course has been specifically designed for those who work or volunteer with children and young people, offering a thorough grounding in key responsibilities, the relevant legal frameworks, and best practice for identifying and reporting any concerns. Delivered by experienced trainers, the programme establishes a solid foundation in safeguarding procedures that are applicable across a wide variety of community and voluntary settings. Attendance is entirely free of charge, and those interested are encouraged to secure their place in advance through MVDA. The training aims to equip participants with the essential knowledge and confidence to protect the welfare of young people, ensuring that all volunteers are well-prepared to act appropriately and promptly should the need arise. This is an invaluable opportunity for anyone involved in child-facing roles to update their understanding and remain compliant with current standards.
