Safeguarding

Children’s safety comes first

ActionReach is committed to protecting children from abuse, exploitation, neglect and harm. We expect staff, volunteers and partners to uphold appropriate safeguarding standards.

If you have a concern about a child’s safety or about the conduct of anyone connected with our work, please let us know. Concerns will be handled sensitively and in line with approved procedures.

If a child is in immediate danger

Contact the police or the nearest emergency or statutory child-protection services straight away. Do not wait to contact us first.

To raise a concern about someone connected with ActionReach

Write to info@actionreach.org with “Safeguarding concern” in the subject line. Please do not include a child’s name or identifying details in the first message. We will explain how to share further information securely.

Please do not use the general contact form to send sensitive child-protection details.

How we protect children

  • Every activity must protect children from harm, exploitation, abuse and inappropriate disclosure.
  • We follow safeguarding, confidentiality and mandatory reporting requirements applicable to each case.
  • We do not investigate or manage cases beyond our competence or legal mandate. We work with statutory and specialist child-protection services.
  • Volunteer roles carry supervision and safeguarding checks appropriate to the role.
  • We use images and stories of children only with informed consent and safeguarding review. We do not condition assistance on agreeing to be photographed, interviewed or featured.
  • We will publish our approved safeguarding policy and reporting channel once they are approved for release.
