Every child has the right to be free from abuse and neglect and to be treated with dignity and respect. Beanstalk is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and requires all staff, volunteers and partners to share this commitment.

We recognise our responsibility to ensure that all our actions protect the safety and welfare and promote the well-being of children, and the staff who work for us, our volunteers and members of the public.

Our Safeguarding Handbook features our safeguarding policy and procedures, which outline how Beanstalk undertakes responsibility and has been drawn up on the basis of law and relevant government guidance that seeks to safeguard children. 

We ensure that all Beanstalk trained reading helpers and staff members act in a manner detailed in our Safer Working Practice Guide. 

In addition, all of our trained reading helpers are provided with a personal copy of our Safeguarding Code of Practice.
