Safeguarding

We are committed to following legislation, government and URC’s policy and good practice guidelines on safeguarding children and adults in need of protection, including safer recruitment of workers.

URC Policy can be found at - https://urc.org.uk/safeguarding/safeguarding-good-practice/

DBS checks are also carried out when necessary.
