As of December 2013, Bright World became the first organisation to join the Child-Safe assured Partner Scheme by receiving their Bronze award. Child-Safe is a unique organisation which aims to safeguard and prevent the abuse of children and young people living away from home.
After meeting the company’s chair,
Chris Gould for the first time back in 2011, Managing Director, Lana Foster
made some bold changes within the team to shift the focus of the guardianship
programme onto Safeguarding and Child Protection. In order to
further cement our commitment to this cause, Senior Safeguarding Manager,
Natalie Hamson joined the team earlier this year with the view to further
improve and evolve safeguarding standards.
“Now
that all members of the Guardianship team have completed specialist Child
Protection training, they are now much more qualified to detect and resolve
Child Protection issues. Natalie’s appointment is paramount in driving us
further on this safeguarding mission.”
Lana
Foster, Bright World Managing Director
There are four levels within the Child Safe
assured Partner scheme – bronze, silver, gold and platinum. This scheme has
already improved the policies and procedures which we have in place and will
continue to do so as we strive for platinum status.
“I am
really positive about the work that Bright World is doing in relation to
safeguarding in it’s widest sense and you are to be applauded for your dedication
and positivity in this regard. I am really excited about having you achieve a Bronze
level of Child-Safe accreditation.”
Chris
Gould, Founder and Chairman of Child-Safe
