Safeguarding Children and Young People.
Better Choices accepts its responsibilities in relation to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
All our staff will therefore safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people with whom they come into contact.
This will be achieved through:
- Our Safer Recruitment policy for recruiting new staff.
- Supporting staff by providing appropriate initial and refresher training on safeguarding and child protection.
- An operational procedure which clearly indicates how staff should deal with safeguarding issues.
- Ensuring company practices and systems are in place to help promote the welfare of children and young people.
- Effective co-operation on matters of child protection with other agencies which are also working with children and young people. This will include sharing information in appropriate cases.
