Safeguarding


ELSH as an organisation, we share a common set of values across everything we do. These help to define who we are and how we behave. As a student you can be assured that all volunteers have been trained in recognising and responding to safeguarding issues.


We have volunteers who are trained to recognise:

the key signs of abuse:

  • Physical abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Sexual Abuse
  • Neglect
  • Bullying

Volunteers are trained in all aspects of the PREVENT strategy. There are regular updates of current trends and patterns in safeguarding issues to all volunteers. As student and volunteer, you are encouraged to talk to our trained safeguarding advisor who will take note of your concern and will respond and record safeguarding matters,  and can raise a concern on your behalf.


Respond

Staff are trained to respond sensitively to concerns. All students and volunteers concerns have the welfare of the person being paramount. Confidentiality is key, and breaches can be treated as a disciplinary matter. 


Record

Total People confidentially record concerns and will make sure that only those volunteers who need to know will be informed of any issues.

Reporting

We try and make it as easy as we can.that talking to someone about a concern that you have might not always be easy. We have clear and visible policies regarding information sharing, to ensure that only relevant information is shared with our partners.
