Safeguarding Policy

Adults At Risk & Child Safeguarding Policy 

Due to the nature of our work with men in suicidal crisis, safety is inbuilt into our everyday work. Our staff are trained in suicide prevention and our intervention has been designed to mitigate the high levels of distress and risks to life men approach us with.

Aside from this we also take seriously our commitment to protect children and vulnerable adults from abuse and have robust procedures to ensure our services are healthy and safe for our staff, clients and other members of the public.

James’ Place is concerned with individuals and their circumstances and actively encourages an inclusive environment.  

We seek to ensure that all our team members are aware of what is required from them under the vulnerable adult and child protection policy and make sure that it is practised at all times. 

It is the responsibility of each one of us to prevent the physical, sexual, or emotional abuse and neglect of vulnerable adults and children. 

We commit ourselves to co-operate fully with the appropriate statutory services when they are conducting official investigation into physical, emotional, or sexual abuse and neglect of vulnerable adults, children or young people (by an adult or young person). 

This statement is to be brought to the attention of all staff and volunteers when they join, as part of their induction programme. Any amendments will be brought to the attention of all team leaders to be cascaded throughout the staff and volunteer teams.
