What is Safeguarding?

Safeguarding is the ability to protect the youth and adults from abuse, neglect or harm. It's the safe environment that allows us to prevent this.

Our commitment to safeguarding means ensuring that all individuals are protected from any form of abuse, whether physical, emotional, or psychological.
