This role helps ensure that concerns relating to safety and wellbeing are received, handled and responded to with care and confidentiality, in line with the XRUK Safeguarding Process.
The Safeguarding Lead will be responsible for receiving safeguarding concerns, responding promptly to incoming information, and ensuring that appropriate processes are followed. This includes handling sensitive information with care and in line with confidentiality expectations and GDPR requirements.
Because safeguarding issues may require timely attention, the role requires someone who is able to respond relatively quickly when concerns are raised. The role can be shared between two or more people to support responsiveness and provide mutual support.
Key aspects of the role include:
- Receiving and responding to safeguarding concerns in a timely way
- Handling sensitive information with care, confidentiality and in line with GDPR
- Following agreed safeguarding processes and signposting where appropriate
- Maintaining clear and appropriate records where needed
- Working with others where necessary to ensure concerns are handled responsibly
This is an important role for the movement, helping ensure that people can rebel in safety while modelling the kind of care, responsibility and culture we want to see in the world.
