Safeguarding Children Policy
The London Chamber Orchestra Trust (Registered Charity No. 297852) is committed to the safety and wellbeing of every child who takes part in its work, chiefly through Music Junction. This policy applies to everyone who works with children on the Trust’s behalf: musicians, mentors, volunteers, visitors and trustees.
We will:
- listen to children and treat them with respect;
- complete DBS and other required checks before anyone works directly with children;
- assess and reduce the risks of every activity;
- obtain a parent’s or guardian’s consent before taking, using or keeping photographs, film or personal information, and store and delete it securely;
- report any concern promptly to the appropriate authorities;
- review this policy every year, or sooner if the law changes.
