As an organisation working with children and young people in a variety of settings, we believe that:
The welfare and safeguarding of the child and young person is paramount
All children and young people, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious beliefs and /or sexual identity have the right to protection from maltreatment & abuse
All suspicions and allegations of maltreatment & abuse should be taken seriously and responded to swiftly & appropriately
Staff (paid and unpaid) should be trained on how to respond appropriately to child protection and safeguarding issues.
