Assess & Improve
Choose a standard, sector-specific or bespoke digital self-assessment framework to understand current arrangements, identify priority gaps and track improvement over time.
Choose your framework
Start with a ready-to-use organisational framework, choose a sector-specific assessment, or commission criteria tailored to your structure, activities and risk profile.
Give trustees and senior leaders independent evidence about current practice.
Choose the closest starting point. Emmaus can then configure access, scoring and criteria around the people responsible for completing the assessment.
A broad safeguarding review covering leadership, governance, policies, people, practice, reporting and continuous improvement.
A practical safeguarding baseline for sports organisations, event organisers and delivery partners, covering leadership, roles, prevention, protection, workforce practice and reporting.
Our comprehensive safeguarding audit provides an in-depth evaluation of your stadium’s safeguarding practices, policies, and procedures across all eight critical safeguarding standards.
A structured internal assessment of whistleblowing arrangements, helping organisations review policy, reporting channels, governance, case handling, protection and organisational learning. ISO 37002:2021

What you receive
How it works
Select the standard assessment, a suitable sector framework such as the stadium assessment, or request bespoke criteria.
We agree the users, criteria, access period and any organisation-specific requirements.
Leadership and nominated colleagues review current arrangements against each area.
Use the results to identify strengths, gaps and clear priorities, then repeat the assessment where ongoing access is selected.
Who it’s for
The framework can support a whole organisation or be configured for a particular sector, venue, programme or operating environment.
People responsible for governance, assurance and organisational risk.
People responsible for translating findings into plans, resources and accountability.
People reviewing policy, reporting, practice, training and operational readiness.
When it helps
Use a structured framework instead of relying on assumptions or isolated documents.
Use an available sector assessment, including the stadium framework when appropriate.
Commission bespoke criteria around your organisation, beneficiaries, programmes and risk profile.
Repeat the assessment to evidence movement over time and support governance reporting.
Scope & practical information
Each framework uses a defined set of criteria. The standard assessment provides a broad organisational view, while sector-specific and bespoke versions can focus on the realities of a venue, programme, workforce or beneficiary group.
The exact questions and scoring model depend on the selected framework.
Oversight, accountability, ownership and leadership understanding.
Whether arrangements are clear, accessible and connected to practice.
Roles, competence, training, contractors, volunteers and day-to-day delivery.
Scoring, priority ratings, action planning, follow-up and evidence of progress.
