The ACSH is not an emergency service & is not staffed 24/7
If you are concerned about someone’s immediate safety, or a crime has been committed, please call 999.
Ochrona kadetów
At the Army Cadets, we are committed to providing the best possible experience for our cadets. Safeguarding and protecting everyone in our community is our top priority, alongside promoting and supporting both physical and mental wellbeing. To find out more, read the Army Cadet Safeguarding Process Information.
We continuously strive to maintain our status as a trusted and esteemed youth organisation, safeguarding our cadets, volunteers, and staff from any harm or discrimination. This commitment aligns with the MOD’s eight safeguarding standards outlined in their Ramy bezpieczeństwa.
Kompleksowy proces bezpieczniejszej rekrutacji jest wykorzystywany przy wyborze wolontariuszy, a każdy kandydat przechodzi rozszerzoną weryfikację, gdy dołącza (dostarczaną przez Disclosure and Barring Service w Anglii i Walii, Disclosure Scotland lub Access Northern Ireland, gdy ma siedzibę w tych krajach), zanim będzie mógł trenować i prowadzić naszych kadetów. Wszyscy nasi wolontariusze przechodzą również dokładne szkolenie w zakresie ochrony i pakiety wprowadzające po dołączeniu do kadetów armii, a także coroczne szkolenie odświeżające i szersze działania zapewniające ochronę.

The Army Cadets take all concerns raised to us seriously – regardless of the severity of the incident – especially when it comes to safeguarding. The Army Cadet Safeguarding Hub (ACSH) serves as the central reporting point for safeguarding concerns. This team, separate from local cadet leadership, evaluates safeguarding reports and ensures that actions taken prioritise the safeguarding of children above all else. Anyone can submit a referral to the ACSH directly, via the Eclipse online reporting system. It is good practice to alert your CEO that you have submitted a referral, but do remember the ACSH is not a 24 hour service.
If you are ever in doubt regarding the immediate safety of a cadet, please call 999.
Wsparcie dla dobrego samopoczucia kadetów
Dobre samopoczucie jest sercem wszystkiego, co robimy w Army Cadets, aby zapewnić naszym kadetom i wolontariuszom szczęście, zdrowie, bezpieczeństwo i poczucie przynależności do naszej organizacji.
The Safeguarding Process
Speaking Up at Cadets: Support and Safeguarding
Cadets should always be a place for fun, friendship and support. If something feels wrong or worries you, it’s important to speak up. The Army Cadet Safeguarding Hub makes it easy to raise a concern online using a simple form. You don’t need all the answers – just share what you know honestly and clearly. Every concern is taken seriously by an independent safeguarding team who will review the information and decide what happens next. Sometimes they may contact you for more details or speak with trusted adults, parents or schools to help keep everyone safe. In some cases, temporary steps may be taken while enquiries are completed. Speaking up can feel difficult, but it helps protect everyone in the cadet community. Learn how concerns are handled quickly, fairly and with compassion for all.
