This unit looks at how to involve learners in developing a safer learning environment, and particularly how they can be kept informed of the organisation's approach to safeguarding.

Involving and informing helps lead to the development of an inclusive and supportive organisation.

By the end of this unit you will be able to:

• Describe the reasons for including learners in the planning, development and review of a safeguarding agenda.
• Describe how the organisation's commitment to safeguarding can be made explicit to learners.
• Explain the value of a listening culture, so learners can be confident that they will be heard when they voice distress, unhappiness or concerns.
• Understand how to effectively involve learners in safeguarding in your organisation.
