Independent Federation for Safeguarding

The Independent Federation for Safeguarding (IfS) is a professional body dedicated to empowering those who protect children and vulnerable adults. We exist to ensure every individual with safeguarding responsibilities—particularly Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) and their teams—has the knowledge, skills, and community support they need. We know how stressful and demanding how safeguarding roles can be. That’s why we’re dedicated to giving DSLs the tools, confidence, and support they need to protect children and young people effectively.
