Safeguarding

The Good Neighbours Safeguarding and Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Policy outlines the organizational commitment to safeguarding, emphasizing protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) and expands on the Good Neighbours Child Protection Policy that has been in place since 2017.

The purpose of this policy is to:

1. Ensure that Good Neighbours continues to protect people from risk or actual harm including neglect, sexual exploitation and abuse, physical abuse, and emotional abuse especially for children, women and vulnerable adults;
2. Document how people can raise safeguarding concerns safely;
3. Outline Good Neighbours’ procedures including responsibilities, prevention, reporting, responding and training to promote awareness of safeguarding obligations.
