Safeguarding children
The safety and wellbeing of the children and young people enrolled on our programmes is of paramount importance to us.
Our commitment to safeguarding
The Access Project believes that the welfare of children within its care is paramount and that a child or young person should never experience abuse of any kind. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all adults involved in our activities to share this commitment.
Safeguarding measures at The Access Project
Adults working with young people on The Access Project are subject to assessment, including an enhanced DBS check that is repeated every three years and two reference checks. They are trained in their safeguarding responsibilities and child protection before commencing work with students.
We have a Head of Safeguarding and safeguarding team who can offer support with any safeguarding issues that arise, and we work closely with our partner schools to keep our students safe.
