• Empathy, patience and problem-solving skills when working with children
• Positive can-do attitude, resilience and willingness to learn and improve

Safeguarding

Children and young people should never experience abuse of any kind

We have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all children and young people, to keep them safe and to practise in a way that protects them.
