12 month BBSafe Safeguarding Partnership

At BBSafe we work with not for profit organisations of all sizes and service types –sports clubs, disability services, aged care, child and family services, religious organisations, health services, domestic violence services, aged care, homelessness services and schools.

We know it can be hard to stay abreast of the evolving landscape in relation to safeguarding – to stay on top of regulation, while maintaining strong cultures of safeguarding, in environments where people are dealing with competing priorities.

We also know that cookie cutter approaches to safeguarding may fail to engage the hearts and minds of an organisation – and we are committed to bespoke engagements on culture led safeguarding that aligns with, and speaks to, your organisation’s mission, purpose and values.

Which is why we have developed the 12 month BBSafe Safeguarding Partnership. The BBSafe team are experts in safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults and we want to support your organisation to be a shining light of safeguarding in your industry or sector. We will be on hand for all of your safeguarding requirements – you will have access to our team whenever you need it, and we work across all jurisdictions.

As you are finalising your end of financial year spend, and budget planning for FY25, consider which option might be best for your organisation.
