Every member of staff holds an Child and Adult Enhanced DBS check and right-to-work verification, and completes our CPD-accredited training covering safeguarding, professional boundaries and de-escalation, with a site-specific induction before their first shift. This includes surge cover when a council activates a Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) or an emergency winter night shelter opens locally.
