Safeguarding Statement

The Confidence Project

​

​

The Confidence Project is committed to supporting young people in a safe, respectful, and appropriate environment.

The wellbeing and safety of young people remains a priority throughout all delivery.

 

Our approach

​

The Confidence Project provides structured support focused on:

• behaviour

• decision-making

• confidence

• engagement

• personal development

Sessions are designed to be supportive, practical, and appropriate to the age and needs of the young person.

The approach is reflective and educational in nature and is not clinical therapy or formal counselling.

 

Working with young people

​

We aim to:

create a respectful and supportive environment

encourage safe communication and participation

maintain appropriate professional boundaries

promote emotional and physical wellbeing

work in ways that support safety, dignity, and inclusion

Participation in discussions and reflective activities is invitational and respectful of individual comfort levels and boundaries.

 

Safeguarding responsibilities

​

Where concerns arise relating to:

the safety or wellbeing of a young person

risk of harm to self or others

abuse, neglect, exploitation, or significant safeguarding concerns, appropriate safeguarding action may be taken in line with relevant safeguarding responsibilities and procedures.

This may include sharing information with:

• parents or carers

• schools or referring organisations

• safeguarding leads

• relevant support services or authorities where necessary

 

 

Partnership working

​

Where programmes are delivered within schools, alternative provision, local authority settings, or youth organisations, safeguarding processes will be aligned with the relevant setting’s safeguarding procedures and reporting structures.

 

Professional boundaries

​

The Confidence Project provides structured support and reflective learning for young people.

The service does not provide:

• emergency support

• crisis intervention

• medical advice

• clinical mental health treatment

​​

Where additional specialist support may be needed, young people or families may be advised to seek support through appropriate services.
