In Safe Hands

Leeds Tenants Federation cares about the safety and well-being of children and young people.

We are launching a child safeguarding network in every community across the city.

Leeds Tenants Federation wants to build a network of people in evey neighbourhood in the city who are trained to recognise the signs of child abuse and neglect. These people will be trained to be child safeguarding champions. Following an introductory session, we intend to interview, train and police check a network of volunteers who will be confident theat they know how to spot and how to refer cases of child abuse.

As the network develops we plan to extend it to cover vulnerable adults.

For details of the introductory sessions see the link to the right.

Leeds Tenants Federation has also revised its Child Protection Policy to provide a model policy for community groups.
