How we keep people safe

Safeguarding is infrastructure, not a promise. It is overseen directly by our Safeguarding Lead, with an external escalation pathway, and identical across every programme.

Facilitators working with young people are Police-vetted under the Children's Act 2014, and re-vetted every three years
A facilitator is never alone with a young person — a host organiser from the setting is present at all times
Delivery is trauma-informed; anyone may opt out of any activity without explanation
Specialist referral pathways are agreed in writing before delivery begins, and practised
Hosts are debriefed after every session
Anyone in a facilitation role receives supervision
