Important information
SafeguardingLink provides a marketplace for organisations and independent safeguarding professionals to connect. SafeguardingLink does not assess, select or appoint providers on behalf of buyers and does not evaluate proposals. Buyers are responsible for carrying out their own due diligence and making their own commissioning decisions.
Proposals are submitted directly to the commissioning organisation. SafeguardingLink does not review, rank or select proposals.
