Safeguarding Young People
Barnardos Commitment
Keeping young people safe is an integral part of Barnardo's work. We believe that everyone has a responsibility to ensure the safety of young people in all circumstances.
Safeguarding Means ...
- the creation of a culture in which young people are valued and their right to be safe is upheld
- the management of risk to minimise circumstances where harm may befall young people using Barnardo's services and the services of organisations with whom we work in partnership
- where there are concerns about young people's welfare, Barnardo's services take all appropriate actions to address those concerns, working to agree local policies and procedures in full partnership with local agencies
Our policy and guidance is regularly updated and is based on and compatible with national guidance.
