We take reasonable and proportionate steps to prevent, detect, and respond to child safety risks, including:

- Appropriate screening and due diligence for roles involving contact with children, including Working With Children / Blue Card checks and National Police Checks where required
- Safeguarding awareness and training for staff and volunteers
- Clear processes for identifying, reporting, and responding to child safety concerns, including compliance with mandatory reporting laws
- Ongoing review of safeguarding risks across our operations
