Clubs, societies & community groups
Safeguarding Policy and Procedures for Community Groups
About this document
If your group runs activities that children or adults at risk take part in – or that they may attend, such as community events – you need safeguarding arrangements. Funders and venues will usually ask for a policy. This version is proportionate for a small volunteer-led group, while covering the essentials.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
