-
A named designated safeguarding lead at the trustee level.
-
UK trustees hold up-to-date DBS (enhanced) checks where applicable.
-
Staff and volunteers in Ibanda are inducted on safe recruitment and safe practice.
-
Visitors, corporate volunteers and photographers work under a signed code of conduct.
-
All imagery and stories are used with informed consent, in accordance with child dignity guidelines.
Reporting a concern
Anyone with a safeguarding concern — a beneficiary, staff member, partner, volunteer or member of the public — can raise it in confidence with our designated safeguarding lead.
