Safeguarding Children & Young People

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff, instructors, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment.

This policy applies to anyone under the age of 18 attending classes, workshops, events or programmes run by Reignite Movement.

All adults working directly with children hold an enhanced DBS certificate with children’s barred list clearance. We verify qualifications, references and safeguarding training before anyone leads a children’s session.

Sessions are staffed to appropriate ratios for the activity and age group. Children are never left alone with a single adult, and instructors work in pairs or within sight of other team members wherever possible.

If a child tells us something, or if we notice signs that concern us, we listen carefully, record what was said and report it to our designated safeguarding lead without delay. We will not investigate ourselves.

We never photograph or film children without written consent from a parent or guardian. Where consent is given, images are stored securely and used only for the purpose agreed.

If you have a safeguarding concern, please contact our designated safeguarding lead in person, by phone on 07379391180, or by email at info@reignitemovement.co.uk.
