• Recognising it is the responsibility of everyone to prevent any abuse of children, young people and adults and to report any such abuse.
• Responding without delay to every complaint or concern made which suggests that a child, young person or adult may have been or could be harmed and co-operating with the appropriate authority in any investigation.
• We commit to promoting safe practice by those in positions of trust.
