At TOMO, safeguarding is at the heart of our mission to create a nurturing and protective environment for every child who visits us. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
Our Safeguarding Policy applies to all TOMO staff, volunteers, trustees, and any individuals working on behalf of TOMO. It covers all activities and interactions within our organisation and with external partners by outlining our commitment to ensuring a safe environment for all individuals engaged with our services.
TOMO is committed to the following safeguarding principles:
All staff and volunteers working with children or vulnerable adults undergo appropriate background checks and DBS checks where required. Safeguarding training is provided regularly to ensure awareness and compliance.
The team also engages in reflective conversations with young people, providing opportunities for them to share their feelings and experiences. This child-centred approach ensures that all decisions and actions prioritise the best interests of the young person.
At TOMO, safeguarding is a shared responsibility, and it underpins all aspects of our work. Through collaboration, communication, and a focus on wellbeing, we strive to create an environment where children can thrive with confidence and peace of mind.
