We work closely with Thirtyone:eight on ensuring we adopt a high quality of safeguarding practice and standards.

We take our responsibility to protect all children, young people and adults entrusted to our care seriously and as you use this resource, we want you to know there is help available if you need it. If you have any concerns that have arisen, please pass them onto Fusion’s Safeguarding Officer, Rachel Sadler or your local social care services.
