Safeguarding responsibilities override confidentiality where there is a risk of harm, in line with UK safeguarding requirements.

1. Safeguarding Commitment

BE(YOU)FULL CIC is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults across all mentoring, educational, and partnership activities.

This Safeguarding and Participant Safety policy explains how BE(YOU)FULL CIC protects children and vulnerable individuals across all activities.

2. Scope

This applies to:

• Mentoring sessions
• Workshops and programmes
• School and organisational partnerships

3. Responsibilities

All staff, mentors, and partners are expected to:

• Act in the best interests of participants
• Maintain professional boundaries
• Follow safeguarding procedures where concerns arise

4. Participation and Consent

Where programmes involve young people, consent may be required from a parent, guardian, school, or organisation before participation.

5. Confidentiality and Boundaries

Mentoring may involve discussion of personal matters. Confidentiality is respected; however, it is not absolute.

Information may be shared where there is a safeguarding concern or legal obligation.

Mentoring is not therapy, counselling, or medical support.

If you have a safeguarding concern, contact us immediately:

beyoufull@gmail.com

Where appropriate, concerns may be referred to schools, safeguarding leads, or relevant authorities.

7. Data and Safeguarding

Personal data may be processed and shared where necessary to protect the safety and wellbeing of individuals, in line with UK GDPR and safeguarding obligations.

This policy may be updated at any time. Updates take effect upon publication.
