At the Y, we’re committed to giving all children the best start in life, and partnering with them and you – their parents and carers – to set them up for a great life. Through play, we provide opportunities for children to use their imagination and practise important skills, whilst extending their social and emotional development, and wellbeing. Teachers and educators help children become curious, creative and confident about learning.
Safety is at the heart of everything we do, and our national and local safeguarding leads work directly with educators to ensure child safe practices remain our highest priority.
Safety is our highest priority
The Y has a zero tolerance approach to the harm or neglect of any child or young person.
Our national approach to safeguarding ensures all our Y’s are the safest place they can be. We align our policies and procedures to the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations, and go beyond this to keep every child and young person in our care safe, healthy and well. With 52 licensing standards, a national safeguarding framework and a safeguarding lead in every Association in our country – we are committed to being child safe.
