Safeguarding Policy
The purpose of this policy is to outline the duty and responsibility of staff, volunteers and trustees working on behalf of Bolton LGBT+ in relation to the protection of adults at risk from abuse.
The key objectives of this policy are for all trustees, employees and volunteers of Bolton LGBT+ to:
have an overview of adult safeguarding
- be clear about their responsibility to safeguard adults
- ensure the necessary actions are taken where an adult with care and support needs is deemed to be at risk.
All adults have the right to be safe from harm and should be able to live free from fear of abuse, neglect and exploitation.

Our Aims
We provide opportunities for people to engage in making Bolton a place in which everyone, whatever their sexual orientation or gender identity, can live free from hatred, prejudice and discrimination.

As an organisation we are fully committed to safeguarding all our people from harm. This includes our staff, volunteers and all those who use or come into contact with our services. We recognise that all our people, regardless of race, age, ability, gender, identity, sexual orientation, religion or belief, have the right to protection from all types of harm or abuse.

We understand that people can become angry when they feel that matters about which they feel strongly are not being dealt with as they wish. If that anger escalates into aggression towards our staff, we consider that unacceptable. Any aggression or abuse directed towards our staff will not be tolerated.
