Safeguarding Policy for Child protection
THE Chichester Youth Adventure Trust (The Trust) is committed to providing a safe facility for all Children participating in activities at Tyle Morgrug. We will do this by encouraging all users of the Tyle Morgrug facilities to confirm they have appropriate Safeguarding policies and practice, and by:
• Recognising all children and young people participating in activities at Tyle Morgrug, regardless of age, gender, race, religious belief, sexual orientation, ability or disability, have the right to participate in a safe environment and have the right to protection from harm.
• Ensuring that all individuals who work for the Trust with children and young people, provide a safe and positive experience and understand this policy applies to them.
• Adopting the WSCC policy for safeguarding and child protection, and any future versions of the policy
• Appointing a Child Welfare Officer (CWO) and ensuring they receive training, so they have the necessary skills to undertake their role effectively.
• Ensuring all Trustees and those working with children and young people as part of the Trust’s operation, are recruited in accordance with the relevant legislation and DBS checks.
• Ensuring all people who work with children on behalf of the Trust are provided with information on good practice and code of conduct.
• Ensuring those working with children and young people on behalf of the Trust, are aware that the CWO should be the first point of contact for any concerns regarding any safeguarding issues considered to be the Trust’s responsibility.
• Ensuring everyone connected with the Trust’s responsibilities (including parents, children, volunteers and visitors) have the opportunity to voice any concerns they have about potential poor practice or suspected abuse, to the CWO.
• Ensuring all suspicions, allegations and concerns are taken seriously and dealt with swiftly and appropriately.
• Ensuring access to confidential information regarding safeguarding concerns is restricted to the CWO and appropriate external authorities.
• Ensuring all those in a position of responsibility at Tyle Morgrug recognise it is not their responsibility to determine if abuse has occurred, but it is their responsibility to report and act on any concerns they may have.
If a hirer has an issue with the facilities that were hired or the booking process, in the first instance the bookings secretary will attempt to resolve them.
If the matter remains unresolved or is about the booking secretary, it will be referred to the chairman of the trustees to resolve.
If resolution cannot be reached this way the matter will be brought to the attention of all the trustees at the next planned meeting or if more urgent by the calling of an extra meeting.
If the complainant is still not satisfied they will be advised that they should contact the Charity Commission who is also the regulator for complaints about the way that the Charity is run.
Where the complaint is about the Chair of Trustees, it will be passed to the trustees to resolve. Where the issue can not be resolved it would be referred to the Charity Commission.
