Our Commitment To Safeguarding and Child Protection

Cambridge Guardians are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Safeguarding, child protection and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. We understand that everyone who works with or comes into contact with children has a role to play in safeguarding them. Cambridge Guardians requires all staff and host family members to recognise their responsibility towards keeping children safe. All staff and volunteers are expected to have a clear understanding of the rights, needs and views of children and young people and should consider, at all times, what is in their best interests.
