Strengthening Safeguarding Through Partnership: East Riding Safeguarding Conference 2026

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, and creating safer communities depends on strong partnerships, shared learning and a commitment to continuous improvement.

That's why Community VISION, in partnership with Humberside Scouts and a range of local organisations, is hosting the East Riding Safeguarding Conference 2026—a full-day event bringing together colleagues from the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector alongside statutory partners to explore some of the most important safeguarding issues facing our communities today.

Event Details

• Thursday 16 July 2026
• 9.00am – 3.00pm

What to Expect

The conference will feature a series of expert-led workshops and presentations covering a range of current safeguarding topics, including:

Sessions will be delivered by local safeguarding professionals, including representatives from the East Riding Safeguarding Children Partnership, the East Riding Safeguarding Adults Board and a range of VCFSE organisations, providing practical learning and opportunities to share good practice.

Alongside the workshop programme, the conference will include a networking marketplace, giving attendees the opportunity to meet organisations from across the region, discover local services and build new partnerships.

During the lunch break, attendees will have the opportunity to take part in a sound bath experience, delivered by Wave and Willow, providing a chance to pause, reflect and recharge. Participants wishing to take part are encouraged to bring a blanket.
