Safeguarding manifesto is first of kind

Justin Humphreys

Leading Christian safeguarding organisation Thirtyone:eight has launched its first-ever manifesto, setting out wide-ranging recommendations for legislative change to protect the vulnerable.

The charity has identified three key themes across all four nations: Strengthening the safeguards in place for children and adults; Better protecting victims and survivors of abuse; Creating safer environments for everyone – whether in the physical space, digital or virtual space.

The recommendations in the document, Together We Can, range from tightening the laws on positions of trust and replacing the current list of potential settings and roles, to introducing mandatory reporting legislation and a full statutory definition of grooming.
