Whilst every individual will have their own definition of family, these definitions all come together to show Family First for who we are.
We are: Defined by Family
We are committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. A Disclosure and Barring Service Certificate will be required for all posts. This post will be subject to enhanced checks as part of our Safeguarding Duty.
