Safeguarding

We are fully committed to promoting the safety and wellbeing of children and adults at risk.

Policy for safeguarding children and vulnerable adults

Our policy outlines the legislation, principles and values that inform the practice of members, staff and contractors who work with children or adults at risk in the course of performing duties or services on behalf of the IET. The welfare of the child is paramount.

This policy is operated in conjunction with the London Child Protection procedures (2007), Working Together to Safeguard Children (2006). Refer to “Further Guidance” towards the end of this policy for additional documents that inform safeguarding children and child protections systems and practice.

Attending a school careers event

School careers events are great ways to engage with young people and share the exciting opportunities of an engineering career.

Read on for advice on how to put on a successful event.

Inspiring future engineers

One of our primary objectives is to encourage young people to choose science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects at school, college and university and to consider engineering as a career.

You can play a significant part in helping us achieve this aim.

Safeguarding for IET volunteers

We have a separate policy that applies to all volunteers who are engaged in IET activities where children or adults at risk are present. This could apply to any role that interacts with the public so it is important that all volunteers make themselves aware of the policy and relevant procedures. It applies to any engagement between the IET and children and adults at risk, including virtual environments such as teleconferencing, videoconferencing, websites, social networking, and blogging.

The policy will also need to be signed by volunteers in our e-learning portal, along with our Volunteer Code of Conduct.
