Our Adult Protection Policy & Child Protection Policy

(Please note that in Scotland the term ‘protection’ is used instead of ‘safeguarding’. We occasionally use the word safeguarding if its usage helps the meaning be a little clearer.)

Our Ethical Guidelines

Like our Protection policies, it expresses our commitment to the 5 Ethical Precepts, and outlines how they are practiced.
