Dealing With Safeguarding Concerns

It is the responsibility of Queens to lead on Safeguarding for their region during action, with support from Community Coords, Queen Mothers and the designated Safeguarding Link.

It is the responsibility of Regional Community Coords to lead on Safeguarding within their region with support from Community Volunteers and the designated Safeguarding Link. What this means is:

• Be ready to receive disclosures of Safeguarding concerns from others.

• Be able to assess risk and spot Safeguarding concerns themselves.

• Know who the designated Safeguarding Lead is for your region. 

• Work as a team to decide if the identified Safeguarding concerns are within the scope of Just Stop Oil or not.

• Complete a Referral From and review and maintain it until the referral is closed. 

• This might include attending meetings, and/or designing and actioning appropriate responses to the Safeguarding concerns.

• Handle concerns and personal details with care, but be ready to share information if it enables the proper safeguarding of someone. 

Unsure that your concern is safeguarding? Ask your regional Safeguarding link or contact one of the link people above.
