We want to create a safe and supportive environment for everyone engaging with us. To do that, we prioritise the safety and wellbeing of all those involved in our work and take our responsibility for safeguarding seriously.
As part of our safe recruitment practices:
- We need all volunteers to undergo appropriate background checks, including Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks where applicable.
- We get references from at least two people who can confirm you’re suitable to work with vulnerable people.
- We follow a selection process that helps us know you align with our values, skills and safeguarding standards.
This commitment means everyone who joins Waythrough helps us create a trustworthy and secure environment, making a real difference to the lives of peole we support.
