The purpose of undertaking a safeguarding audit is to systematically assess and evaluate an organisation’s safeguarding practices, policies, and procedures to ensure they are effective, comprehensive, and compliant with legal, ethical, and organisational standards. A safeguarding audit identifies strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement in protecting vulnerable individuals.
In summary, a safeguarding audit is a proactive tool to ensure that an organisation is fulfilling its safeguarding responsibilities, minimising risks, and fostering a safe and supportive environment for all individuals.
