As a medical Practice we are committed to ensuring that young people (under the age of eighteen) have a safe, positive, and enjoyable experience when using our services. We also recognise that all individuals whatever their age, gender, language, disability, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, socio-economic status and culture have the right to protection from abuse and to be treated fairly. It is always unacceptable for anyone to experience abuse of any kind, including through social media or other online activity.
Everyone has a legal right to protection from all forms of abuse and we will ensure that all safeguarding concerns are taken seriously and we will act in the best interests of the individuals concerned.
Our statement of commitment also extends to our stance on Modern Slavery. Modern Slavery takes many forms including forced and compulsory labour, slavery, servitude, and human trafficking. Modern Slavery is the violation of human rights and we has a zero-tolerance approach to Modern Slavery.
