Steps To Keeping Young People Safe In The Garden

Rationale: Grace & Flavour wants to attract young people into the garden and is committed to ensuring that any child involved stays safe, enjoys their time in the garden and makes a positive contribution to the project.

Against that background we ask adults and young people in the garden to adhere to a set of guidelines relating to Health & Safety, general well-being and Child Protection.

Observe and be familiar with garden safety rules.

Young people should attend the garden at agreed times; Team Days, which are currently, Saturday between 9.00am & 5.00pm and Thursday between 9.00am & 1.00 pm.

A young person should not be alone with an adult as both may be vulnerable.

Stay inside the garden walls do not take or arrange to meet young people outside the garden.

Avoid physical contact unless necessary (e.g. when a young person is injured and there is an emergency).

If you have any concerns about a young person and require further guidance please contact
