Safeguarding Session at Edgars Youth Programme: Ensuring a Safe Environment for Our Youth

Earlier today (Tuesday 23rd July 2024), all staff members at Edgars Youth Programme (EYP) participated in a critical safeguarding session held at the office in Mengo. We were honored to have safeguarding experts Rwego Ivan and Sekabira Kennedy facilitate this session, sharing their extensive knowledge and experience.

The presence of our entire staff underscored our collective commitment to fostering a safe and supportive environment for every youth in our care. This comprehensive session covered essential safeguarding principles, equipping our team with the skills and knowledge to identify, address, and prevent any potential risks or issues that could affect our young participants.

The values of conducting such sessions are manifold. Firstly, they ensure that our staff are always up-to-date with the latest safeguarding protocols, enabling them to act promptly and effectively in any situation. Secondly, these sessions reinforce our organizational commitment to the safety and well-being of our youth, building trust with the families and communities we serve. Lastly, the training helps create a vigilant and informed workforce that can provide a nurturing environment where all young people can thrive.
