As well as our in house Safeguarding we are also committed to working alongside services and professionals.

The Local Authority Designated Officers, also known as LADO's are available in every local authority area. LADO's can be contacted if someone needs to sound out or report a concern around a staff member causing actual or perceived harm or risky behavior's to a child or young person within our care and/or the staff member is alleged to have committed a crime. LADO's role is to advise, support and if necessary investigate matters reported as part of keeping children safe structure.
