How to Show Safeguarding Partnership in Action (Not Just Policy)
Most tenders ask about your safeguarding policy. But what sets high-scoring responses apart is your ability to show that partnership working is a lived reality — not just a line in a document.
📄 Go Beyond the Policy
Commissioners want to know:
- Who you work with — not just in theory, but in practice
- How you coordinate during safeguarding concerns or reviews
- What outcomes result from that joint working
Real examples carry more weight than generic statements. Instead of saying “we work closely with local safeguarding teams,” show what that looked like in a case.
🛠️ Real Partnership Examples to Include
- A safeguarding enquiry where your service contributed key insights or led actions
- Joint action planning following a multi-agency review or audit
- Successful prevention due to early info sharing with social workers or community nurses
🔍 What Commissioners Are Looking For
Tender panels look for signs that you’re not passive participants — you’re proactive, visible, and reliable in safeguarding partnerships. That includes:
- Attendance records at safeguarding board meetings or forums
- Collaborative protocols co-designed with partner agencies
- Continuous learning shared through multi-agency workshops or CPD
If your safeguarding partnerships are real and active, prove it. Bring your tenders to life with evidence, not empty statements.
