Safeguarding
At BookTrust, we believe all children should have the chance to develop to their full potential and feel safe from the risk of harm or abuse. The best interests of the child are paramount in all considerations about their welfare and protection. We recognise our responsibility to safeguard the welfare of children and young people.
Our safeguarding policy and procedures provide a framework to ensure children are safeguarded, and outline how to respond to concerns.
