Safeguarding

Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do
— The Safeguarding Team

Here at TAYCT we recognise that people need support at different times in their lives. We have robust policies and procedures in place to be able to support and protect all the people we work with.

Our Safeguarding Team ensure that our policies and procedures are in place and working well. We have responsibilities to protect a person’s right to live in safety, free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, while promoting their overall health and well-being.

Our Safeguarding Lead is Annie Evans and our Deputy Safeguarding Lead is Lisa Hoult. If you have any questions about our Safeguarding work, feel free to Contact Lisa on the email address below.
