SAFECHAIN™ is an independent institute and policy think tank focused on institutional safeguarding, governance reform, and systems accountability across justice, housing, healthcare, and financial services. It's operated by SAFECHAINN LTD (Company No. 12038453), and includes a professional education arm — the SAFECHAIN™ Academy — alongside research, policy submissions, and institutional implementation support.

Four broad groups: individuals navigating litigation, domestic abuse recovery, or institutional harm; professionals in legal, safeguarding, healthcare, housing, and financial services roles; institutions seeking to embed safeguarding into governance and practice; and policymakers, researchers, and academics engaging with the underlying frameworks.

Most safeguarding training raises awareness. SAFECHAIN™ combines applied curriculum — grounded in trauma physiology, legal understanding, and lived experience — with structured implementation support, so learning is more likely to translate into embedded organisational change rather than a one-off training day.

Every SAFECHAIN™ Academy programme carries the SAFECHAIN™ Seal of Integrity™ — an internal quality standard confirming postgraduate-equivalent depth and structured curriculum design.

No. SAFECHAIN™ programmes are not a formal CPD scheme and are not aligned with or endorsed by the SRA, BSB, NMC, or any other regulatory body's CPD framework. Participants who need CPD credit for their own professional body should confirm independently whether it will be recognised for that purpose.

It's an independently developed quality standard created by Samantha Avril-Andreassen FRSA, grounded in lived experience, postgraduate-level expertise, and legal understanding — reviewed on a rolling basis rather than fixed and left static.

Eleven, across three pathways. Individual: The Compass™ and REBUILD™. Professional: MØPIT™, CIPID™, Body-First Language™, Participation Integrity™, The Threshold™, Measurement™, and IMPLEMENT™. Institutional: R.I.S.E.™ and Institutional Fragmentation™.

In-person, online, or blended, depending on the programme — as institutional cohorts or individual self-paced pathways. Most professional programmes run as a single intensive day or a multi-week online course; institutional programmes run over a longer implementation timeline.

Individuals: The Compass™ is the entry point. Professionals: MØPIT™ is the flagship starting programme for most sectors. Institutions: a free discovery call is the best starting point, since programme mix depends on your organisation's specific context.

Through the R.I.S.E.™ pathway: Diagnostic → Training → Assessment → Implementation → Certification → Annual Review. This goes beyond training delivery to embedding programme content into your existing policy, process, and governance structures.

With a free, no-obligation 30-minute discovery call, followed by a diagnostic review to scope the right programme mix and delivery format for your organisation.

Pricing is structured around engagement type rather than a fixed rate card, since cohort size, delivery format, and implementation scope vary considerably. Discovery calls are free; half-day, one-day, pilot, and full institutional programmes are quoted per engagement once scoped.

The Master Publication Register tracks 136 entries across working papers, policy papers, and governance standards. Of these, 31 are currently Final or Published; the remainder are in active development (Planned, Drafting, or Draft Complete stage).

Yes. Most institutional engagements start with a discovery call to scope which existing programmes best fit your organisation's needs, and how much of the R.I.S.E.™ implementation pathway is relevant.

Email samantha@safe-chain.org describing the kind of partnership you have in mind — training delivery, research collaboration, sponsorship, or something else — and you'll hear back directly.

Yes. Speaking, panel, press, and broadcast enquiries can be sent to samantha@safe-chain.org, or via the Press & Media page.
