Protection Policy
|
|
The Rotary Family Rotaract, Rotaract, Inner Wheel, Probus, Interact is the number one service organisation in Great Britain and Ireland. As such it must take the lead in the important matter of child and vulnerable adult protection. We recognise that there is a moral and legal responsibility to safeguard children and vulnerable adults, and that there is a need to demonstrate that an organisation such as Rotaract is doing everything possible to protect those with whom we work. Where Rotaract clubs provide a service to children and vulnerable adults, it is important that Rotaractors plan and provide service to the community in such a manner that the reputation and interests of Rotaract or of individual Rotaractors cannot be brought into question. This is the first time that RGBI has had a protection policy and we are following the lead of Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland. An aspect of any new arrangements for the protection of children and vulnerable adults is the establishment of a process to meet the requirement to carry out criminal record checks. This would apply to some Rotaract activities and projects providing service to children and vulnerable adults.
