Safeguarding
All staff at SCYM are DBS checked (enhanced) and undergo safeguarding training biannually, inline with government guidance. We also follow Safer Recruitment guidelines when appointing staff. We take very seriously the welfare of our students on a Saturday and follow Essex Music Services Safeguarding Policy and Procedures. Please see our Policies below for this in detail, as well as the Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024 guidance.
All parties are responsible in maintaining the safety of young people. Should any concerns arise they should be reported immediately to the Centre staff either in person, or via the following email addresses:
