Why Safeguarding Needs to Run Through Your Entire Tender
More Than a Standalone Answer
In tenders, safeguarding is often asked as a specific question — but it should also run through your answers on quality, governance, workforce, and risk management.
Commissioners look for consistency. If you claim strong safeguarding practices in one answer but fail to reference safeguarding responsibilities elsewhere, it undermines your credibility.
Where Safeguarding Should Appear
Beyond the safeguarding question itself, reference safeguarding throughout your tender where relevant:
- Workforce: How training, supervision, and recruitment processes safeguard people.
- Quality: How audits, feedback, and learning from incidents improve safeguarding practice.
- Governance: Board oversight, designated leads, and reporting mechanisms.
- Culture: How your service creates an open culture where safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
