Governance
Safeguarding & inclusion
Word Fest aims to create respectful, inclusive and appropriately bounded programmes and relationships.
Current scope
Frank's Board is an information and communication product, not a monitoring or emergency service. It must not be used as a substitute for care, safeguarding practice or urgent support.
How we work
We expect kindness, respect, appropriate boundaries, data minimisation and prompt escalation of genuine concerns through the correct route.
Developing programmes
Earlier youth, mentoring and event concepts are in development. Any future delivery must have proportionate safeguarding arrangements, role clarity, suitable checks where required and routes for reporting concerns before activity begins.
Inclusion
We consider physical, digital, communication and neurodiversity-related access. We do not assume one format works for everyone.
Report a concern
Contact safeguarding@word-fest.com. If someone is at immediate risk, contact the appropriate emergency or statutory service.
