A.P.P.L.E. is committed to safeguarding children & young people. We have a comprehensive Child Protection Policy, our staff are trained and experienced in recognising and supporting the needs of children and young people. All staff and volunteers hold up to date CRB checks.
Our constituted objectives are to “provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation and creative educational activities for children and young people in the interests of social welfare and in order to improve their quality of life.”
Our services are free and open access. We have systems in place to support children’s safety and well being e.g. membership forms & session registers and we encourage parents to make a verbal agreement with their child about their attendance.
A.P.P.L.E. supports inclusive play. We have clear guidelines for promoting a positive experience for all children and young people attending our sessions. Codes of Conduct are for everyone. Children and young people are supported in behaving in a way that encourages all members to feel happy and safe, our team of workers are expected to do the same.
