Capture
Arts Safeguarding Children Policy
March 2010 Capture fully recognises its responsibilities
for child protection.
Our policy applies to all members, employees, staff, directors
and volunteers working with/for the company.
There are four main elements to our policy:
• Ensuring we practice safe recruitment in checking
the suitability of employees and volunteers to work with children.
• Raising awareness of child protection issues.
• Developing and then implementing procedures for identifying
and reporting cases, or suspected cases, of abuse.
• Establishing a safe environment in which children
can learn and develop.
We will follow the procedures and take account of guidance
issued by the Department for Education and Skills to:
• Ensure we have a nominated representative responsible
for child protection.
• Ensure every employee, member and volunteer knows
the name of the designated person responsible for child protection
and their role.
• Ensure all employees, members and volunteers understand
their responsibilities in being alert to the signs of abuse
and responsibility for referring any concerns to the designated
representative responsible for child protection.
• Develop and then follow procedures where an allegation
is made against a member, employee or volunteer.
• Ensure safe recruitment practices are always followed.
