We are an independent UK safeguarding education resource — free to access, free from advertising, and free from the jargon that too often stands between the people who need this information and the children who need protecting.
Our resources are used by Designated Safeguarding Leads, classroom teachers, police officers, parents, and young people across England and Wales. Everything we publish is aligned with the current statutory framework — Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025, Working Together to Safeguard Children 2026, and the relevant UK legislation — and cited from primary sources including the ONS, Home Office, NCA, NHS, and NSPCC.
Resources for everyone in a child's life
Safeguarding only works when every adult around a child understands their role. We produce resources across four audiences.
For Schools & Professionals
DSL toolkits, KCSIE 2025 compliance guidance, MASH referral pathways, lesson plans across KS2 to post-16, and in-depth articles on every category of safeguarding concern.
Professional PortalFor Police
Six content pillars for school liaison PCSOs, DWO-CYPs, MASH officers, and CCE investigators. School safeguarding systems, Modern Slavery Act, Operation Encompass, Prevent and Channel, missing from education, and interactive decision-support tools built for operational use.
Police ResourcesFor Parents
Plain-English guides on the risks their children actually face in 2026, conversation starters that work, and clear signposting to the right help at the right moment.
Parents' CornerFor Young People
Honest, non-patronising information written directly for teenagers on knife crime, county lines, online safety, mental health, relationships, and drugs. No lectures. Just what they need to make safer choices and know who to ask for help.
Young People's HubThe foundational information should be free.
There is no shortage of safeguarding training providers in the UK. Most charge schools hundreds of pounds per day for CPD that covers the same ground year after year. We believe that the foundational information — what county lines looks like, how to respond to a disclosure, what the Online Safety Act means for families, what KCSIE actually requires, what a school can legally share with a police officer — should be freely available to everyone.
The Safeguard Hub is free because that's the right way to do this work. We sustain the site through the support of organisations whose values align with ours — businesses, charities, and public sector bodies that want to be associated with protecting children.
We do not accept advertising.
No banner ads, no sponsored content, no affiliate links.
We do not sell data.
We don't collect personal data from children. User data is never sold to third parties.
We do not allow commercial relationships to influence editorial content.
Supporters are acknowledged, not given a platform to shape what we publish.
