Safeguarding in the UK and other countries is designed to prevent and protect vulnerable members of society. Organisational structures within safeguarding, therefore, require expertise in effective interprofessional collaboration. Safeguarding Education is delivered to health and social care students within a university-professional setting and with differing levels of content. Often focusing on procedures and policies and acknowledging effective interprofessional working; it may not be taught within an interprofessional forum. Interprofessional safeguarding conferences, supported by professional safeguarding experts were used to deliver interprofessional education with a focus on communication, effective team working and safeguarding principles.
