Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Groups
Safeguarding Statement
As an employer and as an operator of leisure facilities, Fusion Lifestyle (including
any subsidiaries) have a duty of care to safeguard children, young people and
adults at risk of harm and exploitation during the course of any activity relating to
their employment or by visiting our sites.
Fusion is committed to promoting health, development, safety and welfare of all
children, vulnerable adults, groups and families attending its centres and in all work
settings including offices, remote and home-working environments.
Fusion recognise that we serve a diverse community through our centres and
workplaces including in culture, racial background, religion, social class, financial
resources and ability. Whilst these differences will be respected, differing cultu ral
approaches to child rearing and vulnerable adults and groups will not be viewed as
valid explanation for clear harm to a child, adult, or vulnerable groups.
Our Safeguarding policy has been created to meet the requirements of the
Children's Act 1989 and 2004, Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006, the Care
Act 2014, the Working together to safeguard children guidance document 2015, and
the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015 (referred to as "Prevent").
Fusion is committed to working in partnership with parents, group organizations and
individual surrounding any safeguarding concerns.
Where necessary and appropriate, our procedure addresses making a referral to
local authority services including the police.
If you have a Safeguarding or Prevent concern about someone, or would like to
know more about Fusion's approach, please contact the Safeguarding Lead for the
organisation through safeguarding@fusion-lifestyle.com
