The WayfinderWoman Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare, safety and dignity of all women who engage with our services, as well as our staff and volunteers. Safeguarding means protecting people’s health, wellbeing and human rights, and enabling them to live free from abuse, harm or neglect.
We follow relevant legislation including the Care Act 2014 and related safeguarding guidance. All staff and volunteers receive safeguarding training and understand their responsibility to recognise and respond to concerns. Any safeguarding concern is reported to our designated Safeguarding Lead and managed in line with our internal safeguarding procedures. Confidentiality is respected at all times. However, if we believe that someone may be at risk of harm, or there is a safeguarding concern involving a vulnerable adult or child, we may need to share relevant information with appropriate services. Wherever possible, we will explain this and keep you informed of the steps being taken.
If you have a safeguarding concern about someone connected to WayfinderWoman, please contact us at:
