Safeguarding

The safety and wellbeing of our participants, volunteers, and staff is a key priority for us at Saints Foundation. We expect our volunteers to speak to our staff if they see or hear anything that makes them worried about someone or makes them feel uncomfortable in any way.

We are here to support you in your volunteering role with us; we don’t expect you to investigate or handle safeguarding concerns, but you will play an important role in building relationships with our participants. Therefore, it is very important that any safeguarding information is passed on. We have an array of favourable safeguarding guidance and policies that we will share with you as a volunteer.
