Policies & Governance
Safety, clarity & care.
Strength in Fragments CIC is committed to safety, accessibility, trauma-informed practice and Deaf-inclusive environments. We maintain a full suite of policies to protect participants, volunteers, staff and partners.
BSL videos are being added throughout July–August 2026.
We are currently adding BSL videos across the website to make our content even more accessible. Thank you for your patience while we update. Follow us on YouTube for BSL updates.
We believe policies should be plain-spoken and easy to understand. This page outlines our safeguarding and data protection commitments, and lists the policies we maintain.
