Safeguarding

 

#BeeWell seeks to co-create an environment where young people’s wellbeing is everybody’s business.  

 

We aim to operate in ways where children, young people and adults can participate in programmes of work, research activities and engagement opportunities safely and meaningfully.  

We want children and young people to be able to enjoy programmes provided through the work of #BeeWell and partnership with agencies and/or community voluntary sector organisations that we collaborate with.  

Our child protection and Safeguarding policy and procedures apply to all #BeeWell activities. All adults who come into contact with children and young people in their work have a duty of care to safeguard and promote their welfare.  

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined as follows:  

  • Protecting children from maltreatment  
  • Preventing impairment of children’s health or development  
  • Ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
  • Taking action to enable all children to have the best life chances.  

We can achieve a culture of safeguarding by ensuring organisations, staff and young people are supported through the following five principles: 

  • Ensuring a holistic youth centred, approach
  • Co-production with young people; listening to and understanding their needs
  • A skilled, supported and confident workforce
  • Leadership; senior staff and board members adopting a whole organisation approach 
  • Partnership and influence; seeking funding, regulatory, government and academic support, as well as effective procedural collaboration.
