Our Safeguarding Policy

At Medical Detection Dogs, safeguarding is at the core of everything we do. We are committed to promoting the welfare, safety and wellbeing of all individuals who engage with our charity, especially vulnerable children and adults.

What is Safeguarding?

Safeguarding means protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of individuals, enabling them to live free from harm, abuse, or neglect. It is our responsibility to ensure that everyone feels safe within our charity and the services we provide.

Our Commitment

We have established policies and procedures to create a safe environment for all. This includes:

• Conducting thorough background checks on staff and volunteers.
• Offering regular safeguarding and child protection training.
• Providing clear guidelines on recognising and reporting concerns.
• Working with local authorities and organisations to ensure best practices.

How We Ensure Safety

Our safeguarding measures are updated regularly to remain compliant with the latest laws and guidelines. Key steps include:

• Proactively addressing risks and identifying any threats to safety.
• Ensuring all individuals understand their rights and know how to report concerns confidentially.
• Maintaining open communication with families, carers, and stakeholders.
