The long-term aim of the partnership is to build a common centre of excellence that offers a holistic suite of safeguarding advisory and assurance services to clients, broadening access to safeguarding expertise both nationally and globally.
Sarah Hillary, partner at BDO said “I’m delighted to announce our strategic partnership with TSA and very excited by the opportunity this creates for TSA and BDO to work together in enhancing safeguarding maturity for the benefit of all. This partnership will extend the scope and depth of the safeguarding assurance and advisory services we are able to offer and complements the important work we already do in this area.”

Together we are able provide unique insight and innovative practical solutions to address the ever-evolving challenges of protecting children and vulnerable adults, mitigating risk and promoting positive change alongside BDO’s expansive global network."
