“If I hadn’t chance to share my worries and talk about my past openly with the volunteer I would definitely suffer with worse levels of depression than I am now.”
Safer Recruitment
We are committed to safeguarding and protecting the people we care for, creating a setting in which everyone feels welcome and safe. All paid and voluntary posts are subject to a safer recruitment process which includes the disclosure of criminal records and barring checks, scrutiny of volunteering/employment history, robust referencing and other vetting checks. Our safeguarding system is underpinned by a range of policies and procedures which encourage and promote safe working practice across the organisation. We make sure that all our staff are trained and supervised to a high standard so they can provide safe, effective practice.
