Safeguarding Awareness for Venue Staff in Ireland Safeguarding is the responsibility of everyone working in large public venues across Ireland. Concert venues, sports venues, conference centres and exhibition centres welcome thousands of visitors each year, including children, young people and adults who may be vulnerable. Legal Island’s Safeguarding Awareness eLearning course provides staff with the knowledge, confidence and practical skills needed to recognise safeguarding concerns and respond appropriately in busy public environments. Situations can develop quickly, and the actions staff take can help prevent serious harm and, in some cases, save lives. The course is tailored specifically to Irish law, guidance and best practice, ensuring staff understand their safeguarding responsibilities within the correct legal framework.
Overview

Safeguarding Awareness in Venues

Safeguarding in large, busy venues presents unique challenges. Crowds, alcohol, unfamiliar environments, sensory overload and temporary staffing can increase vulnerability and make safeguarding concerns harder to identify.

This interactive eLearning course explains what safeguarding is, why it matters and how staff can play an active role in keeping people safe. It introduces a clear, practical four-step safeguarding framework to help staff recognise concerns, respond calmly and take appropriate action.

Through realistic, venue-specific scenarios, employees will learn how safeguarding situations may arise before, during and after events, and how to manage them confidently and professionally.

Importance of training

Why training is essential for Safeguarding in Venues

Safeguarding is not optional, it is a legal, ethical and organisational responsibility. In Ireland, organisations that operate public venues have clear duties to protect children and adults at risk and to respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns.

Without effective training, staff may miss early warning signs of abuse or neglect, delay reporting concerns, escalate issues incorrectly or put themselves, others or the organisation at risk.

This all-staff safeguarding course supports compliance with Irish safeguarding legislation and guidance, helps reduce risk and demonstrates your organisation’s commitment to creating safe, respectful and well-managed public environments.
