Safeguarding
Safety must come first.
Ruby’s Voice is committed to creating a safe, respectful environment for children, young people, families, volunteers and everyone involved.
This policy is in development. Full safeguarding procedures, responsible contacts and reporting routes will be published before activities involving children or young people begin.
Our intended approach
Safeguarding will be embedded in how activities are planned, how people are recruited and supported, and how concerns are heard and acted upon.
If someone is in immediate danger
Do not wait for a response from Ruby’s Voice. Contact the emergency services on 999. For urgent health advice in the UK, contact NHS 111. Concerns about a child can also be raised with the relevant local authority children’s services or police.
Raising a concern with Ruby’s Voice
A named safeguarding lead, contact details and a confidential reporting process will be added here before services begin.
Policy status: Placeholder awaiting formal approval and publication.
