Safeguarding & Safety Notice

Last Updated: July 25, 2026

Putting Children First

At Confident & Capable, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop in a safe and supportive environment.

Our directory is designed to help families discover organisations and programmes that support children and young people in developing confidence, practical skills, and valuable life experiences.

While we provide a platform to help families find these opportunities, safeguarding remains the responsibility of each individual provider.

1. Our Role

Confident & Capable is an independent directory.

We help families discover organisations that offer opportunities for children and young people; however, we do not:

  • Inspect providers
  • Supervise programmes or activities
  • Monitor safeguarding practices
  • Verify qualifications or insurance
  • Certify or endorse providers

A listing on Confident & Capable does not indicate that a provider has been approved, accredited, or endorsed by us.

Families are encouraged to carry out their own checks before enrolling a child in any programme or service.

2. Choosing a Provider

Before booking a programme, families may wish to ask providers about:

  • Safeguarding policies
  • DBS checks (where applicable)
  • Staff qualifications and experience
  • Insurance arrangements
  • Supervision ratios
  • Risk assessments
  • Health and safety procedures

Taking these steps can help ensure that a programme is appropriate for your child and meets your family’s expectations.

3. If You Have Concerns About a Listing

If you believe that information within a listing is inaccurate or if you have concerns regarding a provider featured on Confident & Capable, we encourage you to contact us.

Where appropriate, we may:

  • Review the information provided
  • Contact the provider for clarification
  • Request updates to a listing
  • Consider whether a listing should remain in the directory

However, please note that Confident & Capable is not a regulatory or enforcement body and cannot investigate safeguarding concerns, criminal matters, or legal disputes.

4. Reporting Immediate Concerns

If you believe that a child is at immediate risk of harm, you should contact:

  • The police
  • Your local safeguarding authority
  • Emergency services, where appropriate

Please do not rely on Confident & Capable to respond to urgent safeguarding situations.

5. Changes to This Notice

We may update this Safeguarding & Safety Notice from time to time.

The latest version will always be available on this page and will take effect from the date it is published.
