Recognise. Respond. Record. Report.
Four steps that turn a worry into safe, accountable action.
Recognise
Know the signs of abuse, neglect and exploitation — and the subtle early changes that come before a crisis.
Respond
Stay calm, keep the person safe, listen without leading, and act within your role and your setting’s procedures.
Record
Write it down factually and promptly — what you saw and heard, in the person’s words, without interpretation.
Report
Escalate to your safeguarding lead and the right agencies, without delay — and follow it through.
Where teams need clarity.
Recognising concerns
Types and signs of abuse, neglect and exploitation across adult and children’s services, including the quieter early indicators.
Responding & reporting
What to do in the moment, who to tell, referral pathways and the duty to act — with respectful uncertainty.
Recording that stands up
Factual, contemporaneous recording that supports safeguarding reviews, care planning and inspection.
Roles & responsibilities
Everyone’s part in safeguarding — from support worker to registered manager to the safeguarding lead.
Legislation & frameworks
The Care Act, Children Acts, Children’s Homes Regulations 2015, Working Together and Quality Standards — in plain English.
Inspection readiness
What Ofsted and CQC look for on training, records and culture — and how to evidence it with confidence.
Guidance that moves when the rules move.
Legislation and statutory frameworks change. Our guidance and courses are reviewed and updated so your team is never training against yesterday’s requirements.
Questions we hear a lot.
Are the courses accredited and CPD-recognised?
How is the training delivered?
How quickly can we get our team started?
Do you offer pricing for whole teams?
Will this help us evidence training for Ofsted or CQC?
Can we track staff compliance and renewals?
Is our data safe in the free apps?
Built by people who have run the services.
London Safeguarding Network exists to put confident, current, connected safeguarding practice within reach of every care provider — because well-trained staff are the strongest safeguard the people in their care have.
Good safeguarding training, genuinely within reach.
Too much sector training is generic, dated or built by people who’ve never done the job. Ours is practical, current and written by practitioners — so it holds up on shift, not just on paper.
Protection
Everything we build serves one end — reducing risk and keeping people safe from harm, neglect and exploitation.
Access
CPD-accredited training through a simple online portal, priced and delivered to fit real services and real budgets.
Practice
Trauma-informed, relationship-based and grounded in what actually works with the children and adults you support.
Across the breadth of care.
Wherever people are supported, safeguarding matters. LSN works with providers right across the sector.
Our standard
Three things, held together: accredited — CPD-recognised and inspection-ready; current — mapped to live legislation and reviewed as it changes; connected — part of a network sharing good practice across London.
