On 25 November 2025, the world marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, launching the UN’s annual 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.

For regulated UK sectors such as health and social care, education, housing, and the charitable sector, the campaign reinforces a critical safeguarding message: digital safety is safeguarding. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how organisations can strengthen digital safeguarding, reporting pathways, workforce training, and governance using ComplyPlus™, ensuring that prevention, protection, and accountability extend across both physical and digital spaces.

In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores what Carers Rights Day 2025 means for organisations, from aligning with the Care Act 2014 and Equality Act 2010, to embedding carers’ rights in policy, training, and culture through ComplyPlus™, ensuring dignity, inclusion, and accountability for those who care and those they support.
