We are fully committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expect all staff, volunteers and partners to share this commitment.

Our Commitment

• We believe every child has the right to feel safe, respected and heard.

• We will take all concerns seriously and respond swiftly and appropriately.

• We work in line with UK safeguarding legislation and best practices.
