Trusted by leading institutions
Core Message
Project Shield empowers schools, sports clubs and community organisations to create environments where every child and adult feels safe, supported, and confident.
We combine professional safeguarding expertise with practical training and strategy, helping leaders move beyond compliance to build cultures of protection, accountability, and trust.
What We Stand For
Integrity
We act independently and without influence, ensuring every safeguarding decision is made in the best interest of those at risk. Trust is our foundation, and transparency is our standard.
Clarity
We translate complex safeguarding expectations into clear, practical actions that teams can apply immediately. We make compliance understandable and implementation achievable.
Accountability
We lead by example, setting the highest benchmarks for ourselves and our partners. Every organisation we support is guided to act responsibly, ethically, and with full accountability.
Prevention
We focus on proactive safeguarding, building awareness, education, and early intervention strategies that stop harm before it happens. Prevention is protection in action.
Safeguarding in Education
We partner with schools, academies, and colleges to embed safeguarding that goes beyond compliance. Our team supports leaders and staff to strengthen governance, raise confidence, and build a culture where every pupil and adult feels safe and supported.
