How we keep young people safe
Safeguarding is part of how every SSG session is planned and run.
- Checks appropriate to the role for anyone working with young people, before they start
- Safeguarding arrangements agreed with each school or setting before delivery
- Working within the host setting's safeguarding procedures
- Young people's personal information is never published, and photos are only used with consent
- A clear route for anyone to raise a concern
