CHILD PROTECTION POLICY

Every child and young person should be able to participate in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from abuse.

This is the responsibility of everyone involved in the Club.

The Toyota Estima Owners Club recognise their responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people by protecting them from physical, sexual or emotional harm and bullying.

The Toyota Estima Owners Club acknowledges that child abuse can be a very emotive and difficult subject. It is important to understand the feelings involved but not to allow them to interfere with judgement about the action to be taken.

The Toyota Estima Owners Club are determined to meet their obligations to the highest possible standard.

Through Implementing and adopting clear practices and procedures, we aim to protect children and young people within the Club.

The key principles underpinning this policy are that:

  • The child’s welfare is, and must always be the paramount consideration
  • All children and young people have a right to be protected from abuse regardless of their age, gender, disability, culture, language, racial origin, religious belief or sexual identity
  • All suspicions and allegations of abuse will be taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately
