Helping men and boys build better lives

Safeguarding

Your safety matters.

MINDSET is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults involved in our programmes and activities.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.Supporting teenage boys means safeguarding, boundaries and safer practice must be built into the charity from the start.

Our commitment

MINDSET is developing programmes for men and teenage boys. That means safeguarding is a core part of how we plan, recruit, train, deliver and respond.

We are committed to safe, respectful and well-governed practice across in-person, online and school-based activity.
