Our statement
Our organisation acknowledges the duty of care to safeguard and promote the welfare of vunerable adults and is committed to ensuring our safeguarding practice reflects statutory responsibilities, government guidance and complies with best practice.
The policy recognises that the welfare and interests of vunerable adults are paramount in all circumstances. It aims to ensure that regardless of age, ability or disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation, socio-economic background, all vunerable adults …
have a positive and enjoyable experience with RADD Training Limited, in a safe environment, and are protected from abuse whilst participating in training.
We acknowledge that some vunerable adults, including those with disabilities or those from ethnic minority communities, can be particularly vulnerable to abuse and we accept the responsibility to take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure their welfare.
