Safeguarding

ZCNBG Charity seeks to provide a safe and secure environment while working with vulnerable groups participating in our activities and programs.

We ensure that all those we have contact with can feel and be safe, by implementing safe practices, in a safe environment.

We value the children and adults in our care by following safeguarding policies which protect them from incidents of misconduct or inappropriate behaviour, while also protecting our members and volunteers from false accusations. Thereby enabling us to identify and appropriately challenge when things are not done in line with these expectations.

ZCNBG has a zero-tolerance approach to abuse. We recognize that under the Care Act 2014, all members have a duty for the care and protection of adults and children who are at risk of abuse. We also recognise our responsibilities for the safety and care of children under the Children Act 1989 and 2004.

We are committed to the promotion of wellbeing, prevention of harm and responding effectively if concerns are raised.
