Bristol Music Trust believes that the welfare of the child is paramount. All children, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious beliefs and/or sexual identity have the right to be safeguarded. All welfare concerns should be taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately, and all staff have a responsibility to take appropriate action if they have any concerns.
In addition to ensuring the welfare of children and young people, we also recognise the importance of promoting the welfare of vulnerable groups understood by the term ‘adults at risk’. Bristol Music Trust aims to promote wellbeing through the creative activities and opportunities we can offer. All concerns in relation to adults at risk will be taken seriously and responded to appropriately, and all staff have a responsibility to share any concerns they have with our Safeguarding team. We will work with the key local authorities who have responsibility for adult safeguarding.
As an organisation we will take every reasonable step to ensure that children, young people and/or adults at risk are protected where our own staff are directly involved in the delivery of a music project, or when we recruit or broker relationships between musicians or arts facilitators and a third party, or when we fund an organisation for a programme of work. If an allegation occurs against a member of staff as a result of the Trust’s direct or indirect involvement, we will treat the situation with the utmost urgency.
