SAFE, SUPPORTED AND TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
Safeguarding sits underneath everything we do at Positive Impact.
We work in a calm and approachable way, but we are also vigilant at all times. Nothing is overlooked and nothing is taken lightly. Every young person and every member of the community has the right to feel safe, respected and protected.
We do not treat safeguarding as a separate responsibility. It is part of every conversation, every decision and every environment we create.
OUR APPROACH TO SAFEGUARDING
We build relationships first. That is what allows young people to feel safe enough to speak, ask for help and trust the adults around them.
At the same time, we are clear, consistent and boundaried. Safeguarding is not reactive. It is constant.
Our approach means:
We are laid back in how we are with people, but that never comes at the cost of keeping them safe.
