Help Shape the Future of Safeguarding Services Across the East Riding
The Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector plays a vital role in supporting individuals, families and communities across the East Riding. Whether working with children, young people, adults at risk or wider communities, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do.
To help strengthen safeguarding arrangements across the East Riding, organisations are being invited to complete theEast Riding VCFSE Safeguarding Services Review Survey.
The survey has been designed to gather the experiences and views of VCFSE organisations about how safeguarding services currently operate. This includes experiences of:
- Making safeguarding referrals.
- Accessing statutory safeguarding services.
- Working in partnership with safeguarding teams.
- What is working well.
- Where improvements could be made.
The feedback will help partners better understand the challenges and opportunities facing the sector, informing future service development and strengthening partnership working across the East Riding.
Ultimately, the aim is to ensure safeguarding systems continue to meet the needs of the VCFSE sector and the communities we collectively support.
Why Take Part?
Your organisation's experiences can help shape future safeguarding services by:
- Highlighting good practice and positive partnership working.
- Identifying barriers or challenges when accessing safeguarding support.
- Influencing improvements to local safeguarding processes.
- Ensuring the voice of the VCFSE sector is reflected in future developments.
Whether your experiences have been positive, challenging, or somewhere in between, your feedback is valuable.
Complete the Survey
The survey is open now and should only take a short time to complete.
Please submit your response by Sunday 31 August 2026.
