Safeguarding
Children
TLC has a duty of care to protect the children we work with and is committed to a best practice which safeguards children and young people irrespective of their background, and which recognises that a child may be abused regardless of their age, gender, religious beliefs, racial origin or ethnic identity, culture, class, disability or sexual orientation.
TLC provides in-house learning opportunities and appropriate child protection training to all staff and partners and is committed to implementing this policy. This policy addresses the responsibilities of all employees and will be made widely accessible to staff and partners and reviewed annually or following legislation changes.
