SAFEGUARDING

Here at C3 London we treat Safeguarding with the utmost importance and want to encourage an environment of openness, honesty and accountability to make C3 London a safe space for all. It is everyone’s responsibility to look out for those in our care and for one another. On this page you'll find everything you need to know about Safeguarding at C3 London, from who our Safeguarding team are, to how to raise a concern and what the Safeguarding process looks like.
