The Society has issued a Safeguarding Policy, a copy of which can be downloaded by clicking this link: RCHS Safeguarding Policy

The charitable activities of the Railway & Canal Historical Society include working with vulnerable people.  The purpose of this policy is to protect them and provide all members of the Society and all guests and visitors to the Society’s events with the overarching principles that guide our approach in doing so.

The trustees of the Society are required to provide oversight of safeguarding and to nominate one of the officers of the Society to lead on any incident investigation and reporting.

This policy applies to anyone working on behalf of the Society, including the trustees, officers and other volunteers.

For further information, please contact the Hon Secretary by emailing secretary@rchs.org.uk.
