It is the responsibility of all our Trustees to give paramount importance to the nurture and care of children, young people and vulnerable adults in a safe and secure environment.
Safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults
What is safeguarding?
It might be difficult to accept, but every child and vulnerable adult can be hurt, put at risk of harm or abused, regardless of their age, gender, religion or ethnicity.
Safeguarding legislation and government guidance says that safeguarding means:
Protecting children and vulnerable adults from maltreatment
Preventing impairment of children and vulnerable adult’s health or development
Ensuring that children and vulnerable adults are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
Taking action to enable all children and vulnerable adults to have the best outcome
Working in partnership with children, young people, vulnerable adults and their parents, carers and other agencies is essential in promoting their welfare
Tips to help keep your children safe
The NSPCC Talk PANTS campaign helps children understand that their body belongs to them, and they should tell someone they trust if anything makes them feel upset or worried. There are lots of useful resources on their website and on their YouTube channel #TalkPANTS
