Safety information now. A full operational policy before delivery restarts.
ACE’s historic work involved children, young people, disabled people and families. Before any future programme is promoted as open, ACE should publish or provide its current safeguarding policy, named safeguarding lead and deputy, safer-recruitment and checking arrangements, reporting and escalation routes, incident process, training position and the controls specific to the proposed venue and participants.
This page does not replace those operational documents and does not claim that a future programme is ready to accept participants.
