Resources
Managers Toolkit
Help staff learn about safeguarding with the Managers Toolkit (Word, 645 KB, 18 pages).
The toolkit includes worksheets to guide group discussions. The templates can also be used for individual exercises in team meetings or other learning activities.
Making Safeguarding Personal Toolkit
Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP) puts the person at the centre of the safeguarding process. It considers their views and outcome preferences, giving them control over the process.
There are 12 tools in the Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP) Toolkit.
These tools were developed by the UK Local Government Association and have been adapted for Irish practice by the National Safeguarding Office.
