All our staff and volunteers, including contractors and partner agencies, are required to take shared responsibility for the welfare of children who are encountered in the course of our work.

Some of our staff are in a direct position of trust, in particular those who support, guide or in any way interact with children and young people either in the West Kent workplace or in the community. 

This policy sets out how we will promote the welfare of children and young people and be vigilant of and report any child protection concerns.
