Would learners in your organisation feel similarly safe? If not, why?
The example in the video illustrates why creating a safer learning environment is so critical for learners. Safeguarding means that learners:

- Are free to concentrate on learning.
- Can rely on people in positions of trust.
- Know how and where to report any concerns.
- Are assured that any problems that do arise will be properly and effectively dealt with.
