Safeguarding

The Fair Education Alliance takes seriously its responsibility towards safeguarding all children and young people, who engage with the charity, with the focus being on their safety and welfare.

The aim of our Safeguarding Policy is to ensure that: 

  • Excellent safeguarding practice is promoted at the Fair Education Alliance with clear ways to prevent harm and abuse across all aspects of our work and recruitment; 

  • All children and young people who engage with the Fair Education Alliance are treated with dignity and respect; 

  • Everyone knows their safeguarding responsibilities and what to do in the event of a safeguarding incident or disclosure; 

  • Everyone who interacts with children and young people in relation to FEA activities meet high standards of behaviour and professionalism; 

  • All safeguarding reports are dealt with appropriately, consistently and are properly recorded. 

  • The FEA follows safer recruitment processes for all staff.  

The policy contains specific safeguards aimed at protecting the welfare of:  

  • Children under the age of 18  

  • Young people aged 18-25
