Hi everyone The NSPCC has recently arranged for a Safe communities toolkit to be sent out free to every NAVCA organisation in England which hasn't already had one. We've also got a stall at the conference in September that we will both be at plus one of our colleagues Paul who is evaluating the toolkit. We were hoping to make use of an Open Space slot to further consider safeguarding issues for VCS groups, whether they are big or small, receive funding or not. We are really keen to know whether there is any interest in this so we could plan some sort of programme working around people's requirements. Get back to us and we'll hopefully see you there...

My role is Team Manager - Third Sector Support, which includes, amongst other things, governance advice and support, funding advice, village and community halls and network development (Voice Project). My colleague works on a project entitled 3D Procurement which supports and gives advice to groups wishing to tender for local government contracts. Any thoughts??
