As a charity working within a range of settings and sectors such as schools, churches, youth centres, alternative education provision and charity shops, we recognise that children and vulnerable adults have a right – without exception – to protection from abuse.
It is our intention therefore that staff, trustees and volunteers place paramount importance on promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and recognise their public and professional responsibility to protect them from any form of abuse.
Our working practices reflect our commitment to the safeguarding and welfare of children and vulnerable adults, which includes following safer recruitment and selection procedures.
Each departmental setting also has its own named safeguarding leads and policies, which can be accessed below.
