Befriending has specific associated risks: it’s done by volunteers, supervised at a distance; takes place in people’s homes or public places and the befriendees are often very vulnerable. However, good risk assessment can enable us to feel safe about being adventurous.

Learn how on this half day course which:

  • Reviews national legislation with relevance to befriending
  • Highlights the tools which befriending projects can use to influence safety
  • Looks at the risk assessment 5 step model and how to apply it to befriending
  • Discusses the reasons for safety concerns within befriending.
