About the training

Join GEM for online training focused on developing and maintaining safeguarding policies in museum and heritage sites delivered in partnership with Artswork. This comprehensive 3-hour workshop will focus on how to develop and maintain safeguarding policies for children and adults at risk, helping to ensure that you ensure the safety of your audiences in your learning programmes and wider museum provision.
