Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy

Discovery Summer is committed to safeguarding children from direct and indirect harm and is responsible for safeguarding children in its care whether they be on a face-to-face or online course. The welfare of the child is paramount and all adults (staff members, associated adults, group leaders, visitors, outside providers) have a legal duty of care to safeguard children as carefully as a responsible UK parent would.  All children, without exception, have the right to protection from abuse, regardless of age, culture, gender, language, racial origin, disability, sexual identity or beliefs.

At every summer centre we have at least two Designated Safeguarding People (DSPs) who are supported by the Discovery Summer Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL).
