The Northern Dales RIII Group undertakes a whole variety of activities which foster both an interest in Richard III and also wider friendships. Our membership is open to people of all ages: our safeguarding code of conduct is offered to help all members to be aware of safeguarding issues so that our activities can be safe and appreciated by all. Safeguarding concerns can take many forms, such as physical, psychological or emotional, financial, sexual or institutional abuse, including neglect and exploitation.
As the NDRIIIG committee we will:
- protect people from harm through health & safety assessments, risk assessments and following general safeguarding procedures.
- ensure people can raise safeguarding concerns.
- handle allegations or incidents.
- respond, including reporting to the relevant authorities where necessary.
Our safeguarding code aims to protect members and to help them take the right approach to engaging with other members, whether this includes adults or those under 18. Members are advised and encouraged to follow a clear reporting process if they suspect or are aware of a safeguarding incident or concern within the group.
Members are asked to:
- treat everyone equally and with dignity and respect.
- support an open and transparent culture by challenging and reporting inappropriate behaviour and promoting this code of conduct.
- communicate in an open and respectful way, whether in person, by phone, writing or digital media; not using any inappropriate, threatening or suggestive language, either written or verbal.
- avoid one-to-one situations with young people under 18 (including communications via text, phone, email, or social media)
- report all suspicions, concerns or allegations immediately.
If someone is at immediate risk of significant harm, call 999.
