receiving assistance from the charity,
using the services and facilities provided by the charity, or
coming into contact with members of the charity whist the member is carrying out activities associated with the objects of the charity.

Application of the Policy

The Charity will designate a club member as its safeguarding representative who will have responsibility for co-ordinating compliance with its safeguarding obligations. This includes giving appropriate instruction, training and guidance to the members of the charity and other volunteers who may be assisting the charity with its activities. The designated member will be reviewed in July at the start of each new Lions year.

In particular, the Charity will ensure that these persons are fully aware of, and trained to, the requirements of the Lions Clubs International Multiple District 105 Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults Policy which is appended to this policy.

• There are two or more persons in attendance. These may be Lions Club members, other suitable adults, or relatives or carers of the vulnerable person/s.

Compliance with this policy will provide protection for charity members and other assisting volunteers as well as children and vulnerable adults.
