Safeguarding statement

The MedicAlert Foundation is committed to creating a safe, healthy and inclusive place to work for our staff and for our members and others who come into contact with us through our services.

Our safeguarding policy and procedures are designed to protect children and adults at risk from abuse, neglect and harm, and to provide clear guidance for staff, volunteers and others working on our behalf.

The policy applies to everyone working at all levels for The MedicAlert Foundation. It sets out expected conduct and helps people recognise and report safeguarding concerns.

The Board of Trustees approves the Safeguarding Policy and has oversight of the charity’s duty of care, including managing risk and protecting the people who benefit from our work.

To maintain high standards, management and trustees monitor relevant government and charity guidance and review safeguarding arrangements regularly.
