First Steps towards Safe and Sound is a free tool available to all voluntary and community groups offering services in Reading, who wish to take the first steps towards having good governance in place. Come along to our June 2025 introduction session and find out how to get started and what the benefits are for your group.
T his session should be attended by either a manager or trustee of your group. More than one person from your group is welcome to attend but we would suggest a maximum of three so that there are enough spaces for all.
The session is a 1 hour lunchtime session and will include:
1. An overview of First Steps towards Safe and Sound, what it is, the benefits, resources, support from RVA, how to get started and what you receive after completing this. This free toolkit is designed as an introductory level to our actual Quality Standard 'Safe and Sound', which you can choose to embark upon in the future or not, so our aim is to help you take that first step in a quick, easy and supportive way.
2 . Introduction to First Steps towards engaging Volunteers
3 . Introduction to First Steps towards Inclusion
4 . Further resources and support from RVA.
