Safeguarding
GWMD applies the following principles at all times:
- Child safeguarding: we actively seek to prevent harm, abuse and distress to children in all of our actions, whether deliberate or unintentional.
- Child participation: We involve children in preparing and executing GWMD events. We listen to what they have to say.
Openness, tolerance and gender neutrality:
- We combat all forms of discrimination and encourage participants to express openness and tolerance.
- The games, which are just the concluding events of the whole ‘Game with Mum & Dad’ initiative, are gender neutral with girls, boys, fathers and mothers involved.
