Safeguarding

MCT recognises it has no greater responsibility than to safeguard the children and vulnerable adults that it works with. Safeguarding is prioritised above everything else. MCT will always act in the best interests of children and vulnerable adults, according to law.

Every complaint or suspicion of risk and/or abuse from within or outside the charity will be taken seriously and in all proper circumstances will be referred promptly to statutory services. We always maintain an attitude of ‘it could happen here’ where safeguarding is concerned, that being in any family or community and within the charity itself.

All personnel are subject to Disclosure and Barring checks - and receive regular training and supervision on safeguarding.

Over half of our casework is carried out in a multi-agency context, where risk to children or vulnerable adults can be serious and complex. MCT is at the forefront of reducing risk in our communities and is regularly asked to speak, consult and provide training in this area.
