At Orchard House, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. We are deeply committed to creating safe, nurturing, and supportive environments where young people feel protected, valued, and empowered.

​

Safeguarding is more than just a policy—it’s a culture embedded in every aspect of our work, ensuring the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of every individual in our care.

 

We prioritize safety through:

• Rigorous Staff Training: Equipping our team with the skills and knowledge needed to respond effectively to safeguarding concerns.

• Clear Communication: Promoting transparency and open dialogue to build trust.

• Robust Procedures: Ensuring that all policies are followed to the highest standards.

• Safer Recruitment Practices: We are dedicated to recruiting the right people for working with children and vulnerable adults. Our thorough recruitment process includes vetting, background checks, and a focus on selecting individuals who are compassionate, responsible, and committed to safeguarding.

​

Our goal is to foster an atmosphere of trust and respect, where young people can thrive and feel secure as they progress on their journey toward independence.

By creating a culture that prioritizes their safety and well-being, we empower them to reach their full potential.
