training is part of the safeguarding process. It focuses on protecting individual children and young people, who are identified as suffering, or likely to suffer significant harm, such as violence, exploitation, abuse, and neglect. Shield is dedicated to helping and supporting professionals via expert – Core-Bespoke training and consultancy, in the Safeguarding of children and young people. 

Shield believes that the impact of harm and abuse, and how it affects children and young people’s lives, is a fundamental feature, including the impact it also has on families, and the wider family, carers, communities.

Everyone has a responsibility, and professionals have a duty of care.
