We, like most youth organisations, take our safeguarding responsibilities very seriously. We use enhanced CRB checks for any members of staff likely to have contact with young people, we have robust systems for identifying, reporting and acting on safeguarding concerns and we train staff so they understand their responsibilities with regard to ensuring young people are kept safe.
On this basis I am confident that we can guarantee that those whose criminal records suggest they are not suitable to get access to young people do not get those opportunities through us. I am also confident that if a member of staff has concerns there are systems and processes in place for those concerns to be addressed. The issue is that all these safeguarding policies and processes will not stop those who have not yet been caught and those who are good at covering their tracks from working in my organisation or indeed yours.
