GOSH Charity Safeguarding Statement
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and its wholly owned subsidiary, Great Ormond Street International Promotions Limited, (collectively known as GOSH Charity) believes everyone has the right to be safe, no matter who or what their circumstances are.
A child, young person or vulnerable adult should never experience abuse of any kind and we are committed to delivering our services in a way that safeguards all individuals who come into contact with us.
We have a robust Safeguarding Policy in place which is applied to all staff including third-party individuals and volunteers. Staff receive mandatory safeguarding induction training through an e-learning course and our policy and training requirements are reviewed regularly to ensure compliance with current statutory and regulatory provisions for safeguarding protocols as well as best practice.
GOSH Charity has designated the Company Secretary, Corporate Services as their safeguarding representative. They promote awareness of the Safeguarding Policy across GOSH Charity and ensure appropriate training is available. They also receive, assess and respond to concerns or disclosures and keep secure, written records as well as advising on appropriate keeping of information.
If you would like a copy of our Safeguarding Policy, please contact the GOSH Charity's Safeguarding Representative.
