All children and young people have the absolute right to live free from harm – and YWP takes that responsibility seriously. While our work with young women is confidential, their safety always comes first. If a young person shares something that suggests they, or someone else, may be at risk of significant harm, we will report this to the relevant services who can help.
We’re honest about this from the start so young women know they can trust us.
And no one goes through that process alone. We stay by the young person’s side every step of the way – and, when appropriate, support their families too. We make sure they feel informed, heard, and protected, and we work together to reduce any further risk. Our aim is to create a space where young women feel confident they’ll be listened to and believed, and secure in the knowledge that we’re here to keep them safe.
