Safeguarding

We are committed to ensuring that Interns are fully supported at all stages of the Project SEARCH programme, recognising that specific and additional support and input from all partner organisations may be required at times when safeguarding concerns are raised. When an Intern experiences an issue which may have safeguarding implications, we will take account of the following 

• DFN Project SEARCH Policy and Guidance
• North East Scotland College (recognising that Interns are registered students with North East Scotland College and so this policy and procedure will apply directly)
  • Safeguarding Policy website
  • Policy document
  • Procedure

We will also take account of the following policies, advice and guidelines of other partner organisations:

• University of Aberdeen Safeguarding Policy
• Grampian Interagency Adult Protection Policy
   
• Skills Development Scotland Briefing Documents: 
  • Vulnerable Adults and
  • Children
