All children, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious belief and/or sexual identity, have the right to protection from abuse.
Bromley Council has a duty to investigate any concerns about a child aged under 18 who lives in the borough or who is ' looked after' by the local authority, who may be in need of protection from physical, sexual or emotional abuse or from neglect. More information about these responsibilities can be found here.
We aim to provide safe play and leisure opportunities for all the children who use our services.
There are so many activities to choose from in local communities and parents and carers want to encourage children and young people to participate. All organisations should have a child protection policy; including a statement on, and guidelines about, keeping children safe. A good organisation will welcome questions about their activities and the safety of their environment. For further information and general advice about child protection please visit the
