In the interests of the safety and well being of all vulnerable adults, it has developed and operates a formal safeguarding vulnerable adults protection policy, which is registered with the Churches’ Child Protection Advisory Service (policy number 07/689)

The agency is committed to ensuring that everyone working with vulnerable adults:

protection policy.

The safeguarding vulnerable adults protection policy may be viewed and/or a copy obtained from the agency on application to Urban Expression: PO Box 35238, London E1 0YZ.

As part of this agency’s commitment to children and young people it has appointed Jim Kilpin as Safeguarding Adults Co-ordinator and Stuart Murray Williams as Deputy Safeguarding Adults Co-ordinator.
