Update 1007 29 August 2023

A 'Safeguarding Officer' symbol has been added to the range of symbols that can be shown next to a person's name based on elements that they hold. Where railways have appointed Safeguarding Officers as part of good risk mitigation for involving young/vulnerable people in volunteering, selecting this option on the Safeguarding Officer training element will display the 'SG' icon adjacent to holders' names in other parts of the system. The Safeguarding officer is someone that anyone can go to for advice or help with a safeguarding matter or if they have concerns about a colleague, a member of their staff, or if a member of staff wishes to raise some concerns themselves. The new symbol allows Safeguarding Offivers to be highlighted on HOPS rosters and in department lists, etc, in the same way as first aiders are - so that everyone will be able to identify who the safeguarding officers are to seek assistance. Thank you to the West Somerset Railway for the request. This work involved some heavy work on the other element symbols, and it has not been easy to test every permutation of symbol so please let us know (via a support ticket) if you find anywhere we have missed or where the symbols aren't showing correctly.
