The Orpheus Centre and all of its operations recognise their responsibility to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all involved in Orpheus activities. The protection of adults at risk is a priority and safeguarding is seen to be the duty of all staff and trustees.
Working with adults at risk requires staff members to adhere to the Safeguarding and Safer Recruitment Policy. All staff members receive induction and regular Safeguarding training.
The Orpheus Centre strives to maintain a transparent and open culture where everyone feels safe and able to share concerns. Concerns relating to safeguarding are always listened to and taken seriously.
We strive also to enable our service users/students/tenants to develop their understanding of keeping safe.
We work in partnership with key agencies involved, to ensure the best possible provisions and outcomes in relation to safeguarding.
Orpheus Centre managers and staff members are responsible for implementing the Safeguarding and Safer Recruitment Policy. The Senior Management Team is responsible for ensuring that all safeguarding issues are properly followed up and reported as required
The Safeguarding Team are here to support and appropriately manage any concerns that may arise in regards to risk or safety to the students. If you are worried, need help or see something that is wrong, speak to the Safeguarding Team. Details of the safeguarding team can be found here
If you have any concerns regarding safeguarding at Orpheus, please contact us at safeguarding@orpheus.org.uk.
The Student Safeguarding Ambassadors support the safeguarding team by sharing messages within their peer groups, and giving a helpful insight into possible challenges they may see. These students also help raise awareness of important issues among their peers such as online bullying and provide an important way for students to find help if they need it.
