Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. It’s how we protect children, young people and vulnerable adults from harm.
As a major provider of children’s services in the UK, we have a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people. We share this responsibility with parents, staff, volunteers, and other agencies.
