At iKnow, we understand that safeguarding is at the heart of every church community. Whether you're a small parish or a large congregation, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children, young people, and vulnerable adults is essential. That’s why we’ve designed iKnow Safeguarding to support churches with clear, simple tools to help you stay compliant, confident, and compassionate.
What is iKnow Safeguarding
iKnow Safeguarding is developed for churches to manage their safeguarding responsibilities with ease. From keeping records of training and DBS/ checks to reporting concerns, everything is centralised and accessible.
Key Features for Churches:
- Training & DBS/Checks Tracking
Log and track safeguarding training and DBS/Checks certificates for all staff and volunteers.
- Custom Roles & Permissions
Tailor safeguarding roles to fit your church’s structure — from Safeguarding Officers to those who might just add a concern without seeing any other safeguarding information.
- Secure Concern Reporting
Log safeguarding concerns safely and ensure they are followed up appropriately, with restricted access for confidentiality
- Concerns can be raised via the website embed form making it easy for a Concern to be added to iKnow Safeguarding quickly and securely
- Integration with thirtyone:eight. For churches that use thirtyone:eight then iKnow integrates with their DBS system
Why Churches Trust iKnow Safeguarding
Churches often rely on volunteers and part-time staff, which can make safeguarding admin difficult to manage. iKnow Safeguarding simplifies this process — ensuring your church meets its responsibilities while freeing up time to focus on ministry.
We’ve worked with churches across the UK to make sure the tools we provide are practical, secure, and rooted in good safeguarding practice.
Based on years of working with churches
