We encourage open communication and provide channels for individuals to report any concerns confidentially. All reports are taken seriously and thoroughly investigated, and appropriate actions are taken to address the situation.
  3. Support and Well-being: We are committed to providing support and resources to individuals who may have experienced harm or are at risk of harm. We ensure that appropriate support services are available and that individuals are signposted to external support networks when necessary.
  4. Continuous Improvement: We regularly review and update our safeguarding procedures to ensure they align with best practices and reflect any changes in legislation or regulations. We actively seek feedback from our employees, beneficiaries, and volunteers to improve our safeguarding practices.
