Safeguarding Children

We know that being a young person can make them vulnerable to abuse by adults. The purpose of MYO’s Safeguarding Children Policy is to make sure that the actions of any adult in the context of the work carried out by the organisation are transparent and safeguard and promote the welfare of all young people. If any parent or young person/child has any concerns about the conduct of any member of the organisation, this should be raised in the first instance with Joanna Reyes.

The principles upon which MYO’s Safeguarding Children Policy is based are:

  • The welfare of a child or young person will always be paramount.
  • The welfare of families will be promoted.
  • The rights, wishes and feelings of children, young people and their families will be respected and listened to.
  • Those people in positions of responsibility within the organisation will work in accordance with the interests of children and young people and follow MYO’s Safeguarding Children Policy.
  • Those people in positions of responsibility within the organisation will ensure that the same opportunities are available to everyone and that all differences between individuals will be treated with respect.

MYO’s committee and volunteer tutors are DBS checked and most are in the teaching profession and eligible for high-level checks and regular training.

In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, MYO is continuously reviewing the latest guidelines for youth organisations and ensuring the best possible practice is maintained to keep our members, their families and our community safe. We continue to conduct risk assessments and these have been amended to account for the latest advice. For more information contact the committee.
