Individuals who are trustees of the Hall or contractors, hirers or volunteers will not have unsupervised access to Children and Vulnerable People.

 

Hirers who hire the Hall for use with Children and Vulnerable People will need to ensure that they comply with legislation regarding Safeguarding and with the necessary documentation (eg a valid DBS).

 

The trustees of the Hall will ensure that those who hire and use the Hall are aware of their responsibility towards Children and Vulnerable People.
