Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults

Policy for safeguarding children and vulnerable adults

Our policy outlines the legislation, principles and values that inform the practice of staff, volunteers and other representatives who work with children or adults at risk in the course of performing duties or services on behalf of the RSC. The welfare of the child is paramount.

This policy is operated in conjunction with the UK safeguarding legislation and guidance including Children Act 1989 and 2004, Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018 and Care Act 2014. The policy should be read in conjunction with the Safeguarding procedures and processes.
