Our safeguarding Policies and Procedures are for the benefit of all participants, employees and volunteers of the County.
These Safeguarding Policies and Procedures apply to anyone under the age of 18, which includes anyone who is unable to look after their own wellbeing, property, rights or other interest; and is at risk of harm (either from another person’s behaviour or their own behaviour); or because they have a disability, mental disorder, illness or physical or mental infirmity, or are more vulnerable to being harmed.
Our County Welfare Officer is Richard Wilson.
