Safeguarding

Community Ventures ethos is that all people are equal and no society will flourish unless everybody is given the opportunities and freedoms of equality. Community Ventures strongly values the diversity of people who work for and who come into contact with it.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk, who are engaged in the breadth of activities with Community Ventures Ltd. We have policies and procedures in place to help make Community Ventures a safe place to work or access. The purpose of these policies is to outline the duty and responsibility of staff, volunteers and trustees working on behalf of Community Ventures Ltd in relation to the protection of adults, children and young people at risk from abuse.

Safeguarding means protecting an adult’s right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect. It is about people and organisations working together to prevent and stop both the risks and experience of abuse or neglect, while at the same time making sure that the adult’s wellbeing is promoted including, where appropriate, having regard to their views, wishes, feelings and beliefs in deciding on any action. This must recognise that adults sometimes have complex interpersonal relationships and may be ambivalent, unclear or unrealistic about their personal circumstances.
