The Northamptonshire Area Meeting Safeguarding Policy and Procedures covers all meetings and activities under the care of Northamptonshire Area Quaker Meeting and its constituent Local Meetings. The document has been written in line with legislation, policy, and statutory guidance that seeks to protect children, young people, and adults at risk, in England and Wales. It is predominantly based on Britain Yearly Meeting Safeguarding Policy and Procedures, and in turn the Safe and Secure safeguarding standards published by Thirtyone:eight, a specialist safeguarding organisation.
Area Meeting has appointed Safeguarding Co-ordinators to respond to any safeguarding concerns that may arise.
