Name changed as friends know my usual user name.
I am one of 4 leaders in a business. The nature of the business requires strong safeguarding in place as we work with vulnerable people. I have no experience or career interest in safeguarding. I was recruited for my own area of expertise.
One of my direct reports has taken a new role in safeguarding. His previous duties were not safeguarding related. He is still reporting to me.
I have told the md (my line manager) that I am uncomfortable with this arrangement. However his view is that the other leaders have more people reporting to them and I have “capacity”.
Safeguarding is important and issues come up weekly. I just don’t want to do it.
WIBU to resign over this?
