Health & Safety Policy

The Foundation aims to provide safe and respectful environments for children, families, staff, volunteers, donors, partners, and visitors. Safety is everyone’s responsibility and concerns should be reported promptly.

Activities, events, collections, and goods handling should be planned with reasonable consideration of risks, including manual handling, slips and trips, vehicle movement, safeguarding, fire safety, hygiene, weather, and public access.

People should not lift or move items that are too heavy, unstable, sharp, leaking, contaminated, or unsafe. Trolleys, help from others, or refusal of goods should be used where appropriate.

Accidents, near misses, hazards, unsafe goods, and safety concerns should be reported so the Foundation can take appropriate action and learn from incidents.

Health and safety arrangements should be reviewed as the Foundation grows, activities change, premises use develops, or new risks are identified.
