Our responsibilities

Our commitment to young people

We aim to provide spaces where young people are respected, listened to and protected from harm.

Listening and respect

We value young people’s views, respect their privacy and take their welfare and protection seriously.

Safer people and activities

Our policy commits to safer recruitment, supervision and training. Appropriate enhanced DBS checks may be required for certain roles.

Acting on concerns

Staff and volunteers are expected to recognise and report concerns, following safeguarding procedures and working with relevant services when necessary.
