Is your safeguarding partnership ready for the Section 175 Audit?

Date: Wednesday, 17th Jul 2024 | Category: Audits, General

As September approaches, many safeguarding partnerships are gearing up for their Section 175 audit. This essential process, while crucial for maintaining standards and ensuring compliance, can often feel like a drain on time and resources. But it doesn’t have to be. With the right tools and preparation, your audit can be seamless, efficient, and even enjoyable.

The challenge

Audit processes typically divert precious time and resources away from other meaningful tasks. The need to gather, collate, and analyse relevant respondent data can be overwhelming, especially when faced with tight deadlines.
