Ateb
Atebwyd gan Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health (Delyth Jewell)
Section 5 of the Wales Safeguarding Procedures sets out the arrangements for managing concerns and allegations relating to professionals, staff and volunteers. The revised Section 5 procedures were published on the Wales Safeguarding Procedures website on 1 July 2026.
To support implementation of the revised procedures, an interactive e-learning course has been developed in partnership with Social Care Wales. The training resource provides an overview of the updated procedures, key definitions and practice-based learning examples. It is designed to support professionals and volunteers across all sectors in understanding their roles and responsibilities in managing concerns and allegations appropriately and consistently.
