Staying safe
As an adult, you can take responsibility for your choices and safety, but your safety is also our responsibility as your corporate parent.
We want you to be safe and to make sure you have somewhere suitable to live. If things go wrong, we'll work with you to sort out the problem and help you be safe.
If you go missing and we have concerns for your wellbeing, we'll report you as missing to the police.
If we believe that you are being exploited, or ‘used’ by others, we'll hold a meeting inviting relevant professionals to help make a plan to support you to stay safe.
You can make choices, but not all choices are safe. Our job is to help you with your options and decisions.
We'll carry out risk assessments and hold meetings to make sure you stay safe.
