Child and Adult Safeguarding Policy and Procedure
VOICES’ Impact Reports can tell you more about what issues we are trying to address, how we create or inspire change, what our goals and challenges are, and what demonstrates that we are achieving what we set out to do. Most importantly, the voices of people we support should be at the heart of any reporting we do.
Child Policy Statement and Key Principles
VOICES recognises our responsibility to be aware, open and proactive in the field of safeguarding children. This policy has been written to ensure that the charity takes every reasonably practicable measure to safeguard children and young people. In the context of this policy, this relates to anyone under the age of 18. Please click the link below to read the full policy.
Adult Policy Statement and Key Principle
