Our approach
Greenwood Youth Project maintains safeguarding procedures across everything we do:
- Programmes
- Talks
- Workshops
- Speakers
- Ambassadors
- Other activities
People involved in delivery
Everyone involved in delivery is subject to safeguarding and suitability requirements appropriate to their role. Depending on the role, these may include:
- Identity verification
- References and suitability checks
- Safeguarding training or induction
- An appropriate DBS check, where the role is legally eligible or one is required
- Our Code of Conduct
The checks someone needs depend on what they actually do. A one-off guest speaker may need different safeguards from someone who delivers regularly, and a DBS certificate never replaces good safeguarding arrangements.
Safe delivery
Greenwood Youth Project:
- does not currently routinely provide one-to-one delivery with children
- agrees appropriate supervision arrangements with each host organisation
- follows the host's safeguarding procedures alongside its own
- requires appropriate professional boundaries from everyone involved
- does not currently transport children
Photography and video
Photography and video involving children are only undertaken through appropriate permission and consent arrangements, agreed with the host school or organisation. We never publish children's names with their images.
