The Safe Network – safe activities for everyone
The Safe Network provides safeguarding information related to activities outside the home – from after school art clubs to weekend reading groups. It is jointly managed by the NSPCC and Children England. They are the National Safeguarding Unit for the Third Sector and created as a result of the Government’s Staying Safe action plan.

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre

They aim to protect children from harm online and offline, directly through NCA led operations and in partnership with local and international agencies.
Safeguarding Children Boards
The Safeguarding Children Board brings together representatives from different agencies who work with children, so that everyone can work together to keep children safe from harm.
