Safeguarding
We acknowledge the duty of care to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and adults at risk. We are committed to ensuring safeguarding practice is in line with legislation, statutory guidance, and the Tunbridge Wells Borough Council Safeguarding Policy complies with that and LTA requirements.
Southborough Town Council will be producing a Safeguarding Policy in due course, as a supplementary and supporting document to Tunbridge Wells Borough Council's Safeguarding Policy.
