Safeguarding

Every person matters. Our policies cover children, vulnerable adults, and the conduct of everyone who works or volunteers with us.

Safety comes before fundraising, publicity, convenience or organisational reputation.

Reporting a concern

Concerns can be raised in person with any member of staff, by phone to the office, or through the reporting form at /report-a-concern — which can be used anonymously and can be routed to a trustee rather than to staff. Reports are recorded, dated and acted on. Raising a concern in good faith will never be held against the person who raised it.

This page states our commitments. The signed policy document still needs board approval and upload — do not describe it as published until that is done.
