Safeguarding policy

The Safeguarding of Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults Policy covers all Council services and functions.

The Policy is for all who work with children, young people and vulnerable adults including full time, part time, seasonal and on call staff, student placements and external service providers. All of them will be subject to relevant recommended checks and safeguarding training. Within this document, the term ‘staff’ includes all those listed above.

This policy is designed to provide a basic foundation under which more specific guidance may be developed to meet service needs. All council functions where staff work directly with children or have contact indirectly with children are governed by this policy.
