What we do

Confident, well-trained staff are the strongest safeguard the people in your care have.

Safeguarding only works when teams are confident, current and connected. We bring all three together — and keep them sharp.

01

Accredited training

CPD-recognised courses through our online portal — foundation to specialist — with completion tracking and certificates ready for inspection.

02

Current guidance

Plain-English guidance mapped to live legislation and statutory frameworks — how to recognise, respond to, record and report concerns.

03

A real network

A professional community of care providers across London — sharing good practice and staying ahead of what inspectors and regulators expect.

Built for the frontline

Wherever people are supported, safeguarding matters.

LSN works across the breadth of the care sector — practical training built by people who have run services, not just reviewed them.

Guidance

Guidance you can actually use on shift.

Plain-English safeguarding guidance, mapped to current legislation and statutory frameworks — and kept current as requirements change.

The safeguarding response

Recognise. Respond. Record. Report.

Four steps that turn a worry into safe, accountable action.

1

Recognise

Know the signs of abuse, neglect and exploitation — and the subtle early changes that come before a crisis.

2

Respond

Stay calm, keep the person safe, listen without leading, and act within your role and your setting’s procedures.

3

Record

Write it down factually and promptly — what you saw and heard, in the person’s words, without interpretation.

4

Report

Escalate to your safeguarding lead and the right agencies, without delay — and follow it through.

Guidance topics

Where teams need clarity.

Recognising concerns

Types and signs of abuse, neglect and exploitation across adult and children’s services, including the quieter early indicators.

Responding & reporting

What to do in the moment, who to tell, referral pathways and the duty to act — with respectful uncertainty.

Recording that stands up

Factual, contemporaneous recording that supports safeguarding reviews, care planning and inspection.

Roles & responsibilities

Everyone’s part in safeguarding — from support worker to registered manager to the safeguarding lead.

Legislation & frameworks

The Care Act, Children Acts, Children’s Homes Regulations 2015, Working Together and Quality Standards — in plain English.

Inspection readiness

What Ofsted and CQC look for on training, records and culture — and how to evidence it with confidence.

Kept current

Guidance that moves when the rules move.

Legislation and statutory frameworks change. Our guidance and courses are reviewed and updated so your team is never training against yesterday’s requirements.

About

Built by people who have run the services.

London Safeguarding Network exists to put confident, current, connected safeguarding practice within reach of every care provider — because well-trained staff are the strongest safeguard the people in their care have.

Why we exist

Good safeguarding training, genuinely within reach.

Too much sector training is generic, dated or built by people who’ve never done the job. Ours is practical, current and written by practitioners — so it holds up on shift, not just on paper.

Protection

Everything we build serves one end — reducing risk and keeping people safe from harm, neglect and exploitation.

Access

CPD-accredited training through a simple online portal, priced and delivered to fit real services and real budgets.

Practice

Trauma-informed, relationship-based and grounded in what actually works with the children and adults you support.

Who we serve

Across the breadth of care.

Wherever people are supported, safeguarding matters. LSN works with providers right across the sector.

Our standard

Three things, held together: accredited — CPD-recognised and inspection-ready; current — mapped to live legislation and reviewed as it changes; connected — part of a network sharing good practice across London.
