What are the safeguarding expectations?

We expect organisations that we fund to have high standards of safeguarding arrangements in place. As a minimum this will include:

• Safeguarding policy in the applicant organisation’s own name.

• Named safeguarding representative within the organisation.

• Safeguarding training for all staff, volunteers, who have face-to-face contact with Children and Young people:

  • Training must be appropriate to the nature of the work and must be refreshed regularly.

  • Training should cover both safeguarding best practice and a briefing on the organisation’s safeguarding policies and procedures.

• All people working with children are subject to relevant background checks i.e. Disclosure & Barring Service. This includes all staff, management committee, trustees or volunteers, who have direct access to children. Checks must be refreshed regularly.

• Safeguarding Children policy includes clear steps to take in the event of an incident or disclosure, including who to inform and how to contact them.
