Safeguarding

The Russell Martin Foundation recognises that all members of our learning community have the right to be safe and protected, both within our centres and whilst engaged in activities. The welfare and wellbeing of young people is of paramount importance, in and out of RMF.

We ensure that relevant and effective safeguarding practices exist and are actively promoted throughout our organisation, and that it is understood by all that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. This applies both online and in the physical environment.
