Children’s Safeguarding Policy
Our protocol:
Never contact anyone under 18 years old
1. Anyone under 18 can only contact us through an adult intermediary
2. We normally refer parents to a solicitor only if not already represented. We can also provide a list of support organisations and advice helplines
3. Vulnerable adults must have two contacts, one of whom should be the same gender, and only meet in a public place
4. We no longer rely on volunteers except students and graduates of relevant disciplines
5. Everyone must have a recent DBS check
Our statutory documents are frequently updated and available on request
