- The Trust meets statutory requirements in relation to Criminal Records Bureau checks
- Child Protection Polices and systems are up to date and robust including a process for flagging up children who miss outpatient appointments and a system for flagging children for whom there are safeguarding concerns.
- There is a Board level Executive Director lead for safeguarding
- Named professionals are clear about their roles and have sufficient time and support to undertake them.
- There is a rolling programme of training within the Trust to ensure that all eligible staff are trained at level 1.
