Kidscan is committed to ensuring that the people we work with are not harmed in any way through our actions. Kidscan works with a wide range of people and we recognise that some people we are in contact with may be vulnerable. Safeguarding refers to the process we use to make sure that our stakeholders are not harmed whilst working with the charity. It is the duty of all staff and volunteers, regardless of seniority or permanency, to prevent, recognise and respond to poor practice, abuse and neglect.
All staff members, volunteers and trustees of the Kidscan play an important part in promoting the welfare and protection of the vulnerable people with whom the Charity works. We recognise that Trustees have primary responsibility for safeguarding.
The purpose of this policy is to outline the duty and responsibility of staff, volunteers and trustees working on behalf of Kidscan in relation to safeguarding and child protection procedures. It also provides a framework to support them to take the necessary steps to stop abuse happening.
