Safeguarding Policies
The rules that protect every girl in every QueenVan Swint program — without exception.
Everyone who works with girls through QueenVan Swint — staff, board members, mentors, instructors and volunteers — is vetted, signs our code of conduct, and completes safeguarding orientation before any contact with children.
Our core rules: no adult is ever alone with a girl behind closed doors; all one-on-one mentorship contact happens through supervised, reviewable channels; gifts, money and personal favours between adults and girls are prohibited; and every concern, however small, must be reported to the safeguarding lead within 24 hours.
Breaches of these policies lead to immediate removal from all QueenVan Swint activities and, where a crime may have occurred, referral to the authorities. Parents and girls can request the full written policy document at any time through our contact page.
