Safeguarding & Child Protection
Safe systems. Clear reporting. A culture that protects children.
Safeguarding is not a document — it is a standard of leadership, accountability, and daily practice. TillyExtraSteps supports schools, faith-based organisations, NGOs, and institutions to strengthen child protection systems that work in real contexts.
Clarity
What safeguarding means in practice
A safeguarding system protects children through clear roles, trusted reporting pathways, and consistent organisational behaviour.
Culture & responsibility
Safeguarding is embedded in leadership decisions and everyday standards — it is owned, monitored, and improved over time.
Safe reporting pathways
Children and adults know how to report concerns, what happens next, and who is accountable for action and follow-up.
Clear policies that work
Policies are practical, understood, and implemented — aligned with the organisation’s context, risk level, and capacity.
Training & capability
Staff and volunteers are equipped to recognise harm, respond appropriately, and escalate concerns ethically and safely.
Support
