Safeguarding Statement

The welfare of children and young people is central to the Foundation’s purpose. We aim to work in a way that promotes safety, inclusion, dignity, and respect. Safeguarding concerns will be taken seriously and handled promptly and appropriately.

Activities involving children should be planned with appropriate supervision, risk awareness, clear conduct expectations, and suitable boundaries. Adults supporting Foundation activity must act responsibly and avoid behaviour that could place a child, young person, or vulnerable person at risk.

Anyone who has a safeguarding concern should report it as soon as possible. Where there is immediate danger, emergency services should be contacted. The Foundation may refer concerns to safeguarding authorities, police, local authority services, or other appropriate bodies where necessary.

Where roles involve contact with children, the Foundation may require appropriate checks, references, induction, role descriptions, training, supervision, and conduct expectations before an individual can participate.

Safeguarding information will be handled sensitively and shared only with those who need to know or where required for safety, legal, regulatory, or safeguarding reasons.

If you have any questions about this policy, please contact Kids After Hours Foundation Limited at [email protected].
