Policy

Our primary consideration is to ensure that no learner is at risk of abuse or is harmed.

Our key objectives are:

Do all that we can to ensure that learners are not at risk of abuse in our premise.

Do all that we can to ensure that all learners are free from sexual harassment while within our premise or while receiving a service from us; whether the harassment is from employees, peers or contractors.

Recognise and take appropriate action, when vulnerable individual might have been abused, including in the community or family.

To meet our objectives, Humanoid commits to:

Comply with all relevant laws and regulations.

Set overarching principles to help our employees think about our responsibilities to safeguard our learners.

Define procedures and provide guidance on the safeguarding standards we expect and the actions our people should take to avoid risk and to respond to cases of abuse.

Communicate our Policy and guidelines to our employees, contractors, clients, and others interested in our approach by publishing our policy.

Ensure all our people are offered training to build their skills in avoiding, identifying, responding and reporting cases of harm.

Monitor and document performance and apply any learning from these Learner Protection Learning Principles.

Humanoid Training and Consultancy has developed a Humanoid Safeguarding Policy (Since 2018) and as part of that policy, we have defined a set of procedures to follow as well as guidelines on other issues. We will also signpost other policies and procedures that are complementary to leaners protection.

Best interests of the learner are paramount and shall be the primary consideration in our decision making.

We are learner centered and have adopted a rights-based approach. This helps us keep the rights of learners and vulnerable individual to care, nurturing and equality of protection sharply in focus in all our activities.

Equality of protection to ensure that learners have the same positive opportunity and to engage in our activities safely regardless of their gender, ability, race, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, circumstances or age.

Learners require attention to optimize their safety needs at the worksite and promote their access to important opportunities.

We take responsibility to meet our obligations regarding our duty of care to all our learners. This means ensuring our work activities are safe and that we protect employees and learners across all our activities and facilities.

We reject the use of child or forced labor in our educational activities and in our business relationships.

We make clear our standards to contractors and suppliers and audit those we identify as being high risk.

We recognize and acknowledge an element of risk can exist in many learning situations, and while we may never be able to eliminate this completely, we will do all we can to reduce or limit its impact.

We are honest and transparent in our approach and publicly disclose both this policy and the way we work to try and protect all our learners.

In general, excepting where there is an apparent immediate threat to life or limb, all personally identifiable information concerning learners should only be shared and handled on a need to know basis and where we have the express consent of the data subject for the nominated purpose. Access to the information must be necessary for the conduct of a role relevant to our Centre and only individuals who have legitimate reasons to access the information can receive it.

We support and train those working within Humanoid to recognize and respond to leaner concerns in relation to risks and incidences.

We work with others and our client companies to protect learners. This could include law enforcement where necessary. We require incidents relevant to this policy in respect of all learners to be reported in a timely way both internally and to the appropriate authorities, linked to proper recording of the relevant details.

Independent monitoring of the implementation of the policy is important to us, and we would share our policy with all relevant people and agencies.
