Staff and volunteers
Hope 4U Foundation has a clear framework of rules and behaviours for all employees and volunteers which commits each of them to respect the personal dignity and personal rights of every individual, as well as to act with integrity and in accordance with the law. It encourages the reporting of any concerns or breaches so that they can be dealt with appropriately in accordance with our policies and procedures.
We have set out our safeguarding instructions and procedures to ensure we recognise, report and respond to all concerns or incidents of safeguarding. We are committed to keeping all our people safe from harm and abuse.
We have a confidential Whistleblowing policy where staff and volunteers can raise concerns anonymously if they wish.
