With thousands of children participating in HAF programmes across the UK, ensuring providers have proper vetting processes, up-to-date DBS checks, and comprehensive safeguarding policies isn't just a box-ticking exercise—it's fundamental to protecting children in their care.
Using a systematic verification approach, like our checklist, helps HAF coordinators reduce risks and maintain consistency across all providers. By mandating our
digital verification passport, you can streamline these essential checks, saving up to 80% in time whilst maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding compliance.
Remember, as a HAF coordinator, you're not just approving activity providers—you're creating a trusted network of verified professionals who will be responsible for children's wellbeing during school holidays. Getting these checks right from the start helps build confidence with parents and ensures your HAF programme maintains the highest standards of safety and professionalism.
Our
blog explains how activity providers should organise their safeguarding, which you also might find helpful. We have a
quiz as well so you can test your own knowledge.
We highly recommend performing a Health Check by our Safeguarding Collective partners
