Safeguarding

Unitas Youth Zone takes its safeguarding responsibilities very seriously.
We work with thousands of young people each year and keeping them safe from harm is always our number one priority

All of our staff receive safeguarding training from the NSPCC and have Enhanced DBS checks. We also have higher-level training for our safeguarding team. In addition, we receive advice and support from our colleagues at OnSide and Barnet Council.

Our Designated Safeguarding Officer is Connor Lynch. Our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Officers are Troy Shim-Hue and Louise Adu-Pomaah. Our Trustee for Safeguarding is Councillor Humayne (Kalim) Khalick.
