Safeguarding Children & Young People Policy
How we keep everyone under 18 safe at our gyms, classes and programmes, and what happens when someone raises a concern.
- Applies to everyone working for Steel Warriors: trustees, staff, coaches, freelancers and volunteers.
- All staff and freelancers working with young people hold an enhanced DBS check and complete NSPCC safeguarding training.
- A named Designated Safeguarding Lead and Deputy manage every concern, with a senior leader on call seven days a week.
- We take a trauma-informed approach and work with the police, local authorities and MASH teams when a child is at risk.
- Covers recognising abuse, neglect and exploitation (including county lines and child criminal exploitation), mental health, self-harm and online safety.
