website: Child Protection and Safeguarding All children, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious belief and/or sexual identity, have the right to protection from abuse. Bromley Council has a duty to investigate any concerns about a child aged under 18 who lives in the borough or who is ' looked after' by the local authority, who may be in need of protection from physical, sexual or emotional abuse or from neglect. We aim to provide safe play and leisure opportunities for all the children who use our services. Everyone who works with children, young people or families in Bromley must undertake basic child protection training, and be familiar with their role in safeguarding children.
