Our commitments fall into two vital areas:
Carbon Reduction & Sustainability: We recognise the urgent need to protect our planet. Our Carbon Reduction Policy outlines our strategic approach and targets for minimising our environmental impact, demonstrating our commitment to a sustainable future for our community and the next generation.
We are committed to the safeguarding of all our clients, volunteers, and staff. This includes children, young people, and adults, protecting them from potential neglect, physical, sexual and emotional harm. We are committed to:
Who is responsible
All adults in Surrey Care Trust are responsible for putting our safeguarding policy at the centre of all planning and operations and to follow the clear reporting process when they suspect or are aware of a safeguarding incident or concern. They receive information and training that outlines their responsibilities to safeguarding, which starts at recruitment.
Recruiting the right people
Surrey Care Trust follows Safer Recruitment guidelines to ensure we have the right people working and volunteering with children, young people and adults at risk.
Anyone working with, or volunteering for, Surrey Care Trust will receive and have access to details of our Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults Policy, Sexual Harassment Policy, and our Health and Safety Policy. They will be responsible for adhering to the policies at all times.
Connecting people with the environment to support their wellbeing and development has always been a core part of our work, exemplified by our long-standing Nurture through Nature projects. As such, we are deeply committed to environmental stewardship and understand the critical role we play in mitigating climate change. Our Carbon Reduction Plan establishes a clear and actionable framework for reducing our organisational carbon footprint and achieving Net Zero in our operations.
This policy also reflects our dedication to creating a sustainable future by integrating environmental responsibility into every aspect of our work, from our facilities to the support we deliver.
