Governing Documents
The foundational statements and commitments that govern this platform's approach to child protection. These documents carry the highest level of authority and are binding upon all staff, associates and panel members.
Guides for Adults
Guidance for parents, carers, schools and professionals — how to recognise the signs of abuse, understand your responsibilities, and report a concern through this platform or to the appropriate authority.
Guides for Children
Guidance written directly for children and young people at every age level — what is and isn't okay, that it is never their fault, and exactly how to get help if something is worrying them.
Written for younger children — what's okay and what isn't, that it's never your fault, and who you can tell if something worries you.
For older children — understanding different kinds of harm, recognising when something feels wrong, how to report it, and how to help a friend or younger child who may be at risk.
For teenagers — understanding coercion, exploitation and online harm, how to recognise risk in yourself and others, and how to act on it without fear.
Staff Policies and Procedures
Internal documents governing the conduct, obligations and responsibilities of everyone who works on or for this platform. All staff sign the core declaration on appointment and at each annual review.
Professionals Guide, Policies & Procedures
A Guide for those professional working on our safeguarding teams and providing advice to them and our staff. This covers any documents governing the conduct, obligations and responsibilities of everyone who works on or for this platform.
Video Resources
Short video guides covering key safeguarding topics — for children, parents and professionals. Videos are produced to the same standards as our written guidance and reviewed on the same cycle.
We are producing a series of short video guides to complement the written library. These will be published here as they are completed.
