SAFEGUARDING
The staff and Mendip Outdoor Pursuits fully recognise that all staff have a full and active part to play in protecting those who use our facility from harm. All staff believe that Mendip Outdoor Pursuits should provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment which promotes the social, physical and moral development of the individual child or vulnerable adult.
The aims of this policy are:
- To support the child or vulnerable adult's development in ways that will foster security, confidence and independence
- To raise the awareness of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the need to safeguard children and vulnerable adults, and of their responsibilities in identifying and reporting possible cases of abuse in line with Local and National procedures and guidance
- To provide a systematic means of monitoring children or vulnerable adults known or thought to be at risk of harm.
- To emphasise the need for good levels of communication between all members of staff, schools and centre users.
- To develop a structured procedure within the company, which will be followed by all members of the Mendip Outdoor Pursuits staff in cases of suspected abuse.
- To aware of other agencies and contacts, especially within the Schools, Police and Social Services
- To ensure that all adults within our company who have access to children or vulnerable adults have been checked as to their suitability.
