Statement of Commitment
As an organisation we believe that:
- The welfare of the child is paramount.
-
All children and young people, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious beliefs and/or sexual identity, have the right to protection from abuse.
-
Children and young people should be respected and valued as individuals.
-
We should provide a safe, caring, environment with a happy and friendly atmosphere.
-
We have a responsibility to protect children and young people and report suspected or disclosed abuse to the appropriate statutory authorities.
-
All suspicions and allegations of abuse will be taken seriously and all AIMCommunity staff (paid and unpaid) have a responsibility to report concerns to the named Designated Safeguarding Lead or Deputy DSL in their absence.
-
We have a responsibility to support and train those who work with children and young people within AIMCommunity.
-
We have a commitment to best practice as far as our work with children and young people is concerned.
