Safeguarding & policies
How we keep children, young people and adults safe across all of Hustle Hive's work, and the policies we follow.
Safeguarding is central to everything we do
Designated Safeguarding Lead: Gavin Copland
- All staff in regulated activity have the appropriate recruitment and safeguarding checks, completed and recorded.
- Staff are trained to respond to disclosures, child-on-child concerns, online safety, exploitation, radicalisation and allegations or low-level concerns.
- Key Stages are supported separately. Our adult community programmes run after the school day, and adults and young people never cross over.
- Visitors, contractors, site access and community-based learning are controlled and risk assessed.
- Procedures follow Keeping Children Safe in Education and Working Together to Safeguard Children.
Health & safety
Practical learning is central to what we do, so safety is part of how we work, not just a policy in a folder. Access to equipment like 3D printers, hand tools and workshop machinery is matched to each learner's age, competence and individual risk assessment.
We hold risk assessments and safe operating procedures for all practical activities, plus fire, first-aid and off-site arrangements.
