whom may be at risk and the circumstances which may increase risk; knowing how abuse, exploitation or neglect manifests

itself; and being willing to report safeguarding concerns.

protecting them from abuse which may be:

CSL will:

• Ensure all staff have access to, are familiar with, and know their responsibilities within this policy

• Design and undertake all its programmes and activities in a way that protects people from any risk of harm that may

arise from their coming into contact with CSL.

• Implement stringent safeguarding procedures when recruiting, managing and deploying staff and associated personnel

• Ensure staff receive training on safeguarding at a level commensurate with their role in the organisation

• Follow up on reports of safeguarding concerns promptly and according to due process
