Free Safeguarding Resources

North Star Training provides a small selection of free safeguarding resources designed to support adult awareness, early recognition of concern and appropriate next steps.

These resources are intended to help adults working with children and young people feel more confident noticing changes, starting supportive conversations and knowing when to seek help.

They are suitable for:

• parents and carers
• school and college staff
• safeguarding leads and pastoral teams
• professionals working with children and families
   

The resources available on this page are designed to:

• complement existing safeguarding arrangements
• support professional curiosity and early action
• encourage calm, proportionate responses
   

They can be used:

• as reference documents
• to support safeguarding communications
• alongside staff briefings or parent information
   

They are not designed to replace training, professional judgement or organisational safeguarding procedures.

Please note:

• These resources are for awareness purposes only 
• They do not provide case management, investigation or intervention guidance
• Safeguarding responsibility remains with the relevant organisation at all times
• Any concerns about a child or young person should be reported via local safeguarding procedures
   

If you believe a child is at immediate risk of harm, contact emergency services or local safeguarding professionals.

North Star Training provides safeguarding awareness and training. We do not accept safeguarding disclosures via this website or through downloadable resources.

For safeguarding concerns, please contact your organisation’s Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) or appropriate safeguarding service.
