Report a concernSAFEGUARDING CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE IS EVERYONE'S BUSINESS
All voluntary, community and faith organisations need to understand their safeguarding roles and responsibilities (alongside those of other organisations and services) to help keep children and young people safe from abuse and neglect, and promote their well-being. There is a range of help and support from voluntary, community and faith organisations working in Wolverhampton. This includes safeguarding training, policy development, networking and useful information.
There are over 250 faith groups in Wolverhampton which you can find details for all of these on the Wolverhampton Faith Map. If your faith group is not on the map, please send details including the name of your group, address of place of worship and a link to your website or Facebook page to faithsupport@wvca.org.uk
