Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults policy

Who we are and what we do:

The Mill provides a welcoming, positive, accessible and inclusive space at the heart of Walthamstow, and works with the community locally to make things happen. We don’t run services or decide what should go on here, but provide the space, facilities and some resources. All our groups, events and activities are brought to us by local people who want to make something happen in Walthamstow.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility:

All of our volunteers, trustees and employees play an important part in promoting the wellbeing, safety and protection of the children and vulnerable adults who use The Mill and take part in activities and groups here. 

What is the purpose of this document:

The aim of this document is to ensure that The Mill acts appropriately when it becomes aware that a child or vulnerable adult may be at risk of abuse or neglect.  It also sets out the procedures that all staff, volunteers and members of the public can expect when they raise concerns about a child or vulnerable adult.
