Safe Network service closing

Launched in 2009, Safe Network is a partnership between Children England and the NSPCC. From April 2016 Safe Network will be closing and the NSPCC website will be the new home for safeguarding support for the voluntary, community and faith sectors. The service was funded by the Department for Education, but the contract ended in March 2015. The NSPCC will continue to fund the service, but at a reduced scale.
