Join North Tyneside VODA for this free online session.
If your organisation has a building, office, church, community centre, village hall, charity shop or any other space that's open to the public, this free workshop is for you.
Following the latest guidance on Martyn's Law (Protect Duty), we're inviting trustees, managers, staff and volunteers from VCSE organisations across North Tyneside, Newcastle, Gateshead and Northumberland to join this important online session.
Whether you welcome visitors every day or only occasionally, it's essential to understand what the new legislation means for your organisation and what practical steps you may need to take.
What you'll learn -
*What Martyn's Law is and why it has been introduced.
*Who it applies to and what it means for VCSE organisations.
*How the legislation could affect your premises and activities.
*Practical advice to help you prepare and keep your staff, volunteers and visitors safe.
*The opportunity to ask questions directly to an expert.
The session will be delivered by Graham Wakeman from Counter Terrorism Policing North East, who will explain the new requirements and help you understand what actions your organisation may need to consider.
The workshop is free to attend, but places are limited and advance booking is essential.
The session will take place online via Microsoft Teams. Joining instructions will be sent to registered attendees before the event.
