Lincolnshire Youth Mission Ltd (LYM) values young people and children and wishes to see them grow, mature and be challenged in a healthy and safe environment.
Safeguarding young people, children and vulnerable adults involved with the roadHoG Bus Youth Project is the responsibility of LYM. It is also the responsibility of those from local churches who represent LYM in the life of this project. Everyone who participates in the life of the Church has a role to play in promoting a Safer Church for all.

This policy applies to all local church bus teams, schools teams and management group.

Anyone can use the helpline to provide information or to raise concerns regarding abuse within an inter-denominational context like roadHoG; whether they are reporting issues relating to children, adults or seeking to whistle blow about poor safeguarding practice.
