NISPiD aims to protect members, students, mentees, mentors, volunteers and beneficiaries from exploitation, abuse, harassment and avoidable harm.
- Immediate safety takes priority where serious harm is credible.
- Concerns are handled confidentially, on a need-to-know basis.
- Mentoring maintains professional boundaries at all times.
- Interim restrictions may be used where proportionate while a concern is assessed.
- NISPiD is not a substitute for emergency, medical, legal, immigration or specialist welfare services.
