A Safe Space to Enjoy, Express, and Belong

Safeguarding Children and Young People

Creative Hearts United is committed to ensuring that all children and young people who take part in our activities are safe, supported, and protected from harm. We place the welfare and wellbeing of children at the heart of everything we do, creating an environment where they can enjoy, express themselves, and feel a strong sense of belonging.

Our safeguarding and child protection policies are based on UK legislation and best practice guidance.

We Believe

Every child has the right to be safe and protected from abuse
It is our responsibility to promote their welfare and act in their best interests

We Recognise

The welfare of the child is paramount. All children, regardless of background, have an equal right to protection. Some children may need additional safeguarding support
