        6. Sunny Art Centre: Safeguarding Policy

        The following document outlines The Sunny Art Centre’s approach to safeguarding. The Sunny Art Centre’s safeguarding policy and procedures are designed to protect the security, privacy and dignity of the children and young people who choose to attend lessons at the Sunny Art Centre. The Sunny Art Centre is committed to providing a safe and inclusive learning environment. The policy is also intended to protect teachers, fellow students, and gallery visitors, as well as the gallery itself.

        The Sunny Art Centre prides itself on fostering an environment in which cultural exchange can flourish. We are therefore committed to affording the same high standards of protection and service to all students, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. The practical nature of our teaching approach allows for easy communication, and our international team of staff are committed to assisting in the clear communication of ideas expressed. The limited size of our group lessons ensures that the welfare of each student is closely monitored.

        The Sunny Art Centre believes that a child or young person should never experience abuse of any kind. We have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all children and young people and to keep them safe. We are committed to practice in a way that protects them.

        This policy should be considered alongside our code of conduct for staff.

        The purpose of this policy:

        • To protect children and young people who receive The Sunny Art Centre’s services.
        • To provide staff with the overarching principles that guide our approach to safeguarding and child protection.

        Legal Framework:

        This policy has been drawn up on the basis of law and guidance that seeks to protect children, namely:

        • Children Act 1989
        • United Convention of the Rights of the Child 1991
        • Data Protection Act 1998
        • Human Rights Act 1998
        • Sexual Offences Act 2003
        • Children Act 2004
        • Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006
        • Protection of Freedoms Act 2012
        • Children and Families Act 2014
        • Special education needs and disability (SEND) code of practice: 0 to 25 years- Statutory guidance for organisations which work with and support children and young people who have special needs or disabilities; HM Government 2014
        • Information sharing: Advice for practitioners providing safeguarding service to children, young people, parents and carers; HM Government 2015
        • Working together to safeguard children: a guide to inter-agency working to safeguard and promote the welfare of children; HM Government 2015

        We recognise that:

        • The welfare of the child is paramount, as enshrined by the Children Act of 1989
        • All children regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
        • Some children are additionally vulnerable because of the impact of previous experiences, their level of dependancy, communication needs or other issues.
        • Working in partnership with children, young people, their parents, carers and other agencies is essential in promoting young people’s welfare. 

        We will seek to keep children and young people safe by:

        • Valuing them, listening to them and respecting them.
        • Adopting child protection and safeguarding practices through procedures and a code of conduct for staff
        • Providing effective management for staff through support, training and quality assurance measures.
        • Recruiting all staff safely, ensuring that all necessary checks are made.
        • Recording and storing all information professionally and securely, and sharing information about safeguarding with children, their families and staff.
        • Using our safeguarding procedures to share concerns and relevant information with agencies who need to know, and involving children, young people, parents, families and carers appropriately.
        • Using our procedures to manage any allegations against staff and volunteers appropriately
        • Ensuring that we have effective complaints and whistleblowing measures in place.
        • Ensuring that we provide a safe physical environment for our children, young people and staff by applying health and safely measures in accordance with the law and regulatory guidance.
