Safeguarding

Safeguarding at A Mind Apart

At A Mind Apart, the safety and wellbeing of every child, young person, and adult at risk is central to everything we do. We are committed to creating a safe, welcoming space where everyone can shine, grow, and take part in our activities with confidence.

Who We Safeguard

We work with children, young people, and adults who may be at risk due to age, disability, health needs, or life circumstances. Our staff and volunteers take their responsibility seriously to protect all participants from harm, abuse, or neglect.

• All staff and volunteers are DBS checked and receive regular safeguarding training.

• We follow clear codes of conduct and safe recruitment practices.

• Everyone in our team knows how to spot signs of abuse and how to respond if there are concerns.

• We work closely with parents, carers, schools, and partner agencies to keep communication open and support each individual’s needs.

• Our safeguarding procedures are reviewed and updated every year to meet current guidance and legislation
