Safeguarding
We often hear comments like “there is so much legislation and rules these days and I don’t have time to find out!” People are either put off altogether or get themselves in a bit of a stew. Our aim is to try and clarify what is needed and where to go for the best information possible. We recognise that even this list of places can be confusing, but the simplest way is to start with your first question – and look for that answer. If you are still stuck, give us a call at the youth office and we try and help you make sense of it.
