Farrer & Co have been at the forefront of advising organisations on safeguarding and child protection since the inception of the current statutory regime in the early 2000s.

The aim of the Safeguarding Unit is to enable organisations to ensure in so far as is possible the safety and wellbeing of the children or adults in their charge. We do this by enabling organisations to respond to scrutiny and comply with law in this area, implementing best practice and cultural change where required, and handling cases (whether live or non-recent) appropriately and with sensitivity.
