Safeguarding Statement
We are committed to building a 'culture of safety' in which children are protected from abuse and harm in all areas of our service delivery. Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and barred lists checks and other suitability checks are carried out for staff and volunteers prior to their post being confirmed, to ensure that no disqualified person or unsuitable person works at the setting or has access to the children. All staff and volunteers are expected to disclose any convictions, cautions, court orders or reprimands and warnings which may affect their suitability to work with children (whether received before or during their employment with us).
