Safeguarding

As an organisation we are committed to ensuring:

• children’s and young people’s rights to care and protection from harm in any form are firmly upheld as outlined within United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC);
• we fulfil our legislative duties related to safeguarding, including child protection;
• the interests of all The STAR Centre: Rape Crisis Ayrshire staff are safeguarded as they go about their work and engage with children of all ages; and
• all staff within The STAR Centre: Rape Crisis Ayrshire, are suitably trained in how to respond to safeguarding matters.
