SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN

WE BELIEVE

We believe that all young people have a right to be safe at all times and to have the opportunity to fully-participate in all aspects of the activities that ISSU provides. Our Child Protection Policy has been drawn up in order to help all those involved with ISSU to ensure that young people participating in ISSU activities or ISSU sponsored activities have the opportunity to make the most of their time with the organisation, in a safe environment.
