Safeguarding policy (CLICK HERE)
Safeguarding is what we do to promote the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk, and to protect them from harm. Safeguarding is our first priority and is at the heart of everything we do. This policy explains what we expect of our Group members, Leaders and volunteers. It also outlines how we protect children and adults at risk.
