Standards & Public Protection

At Futures Matter CIC, our work is underpinned by clear professional standards and a commitment to public protection. In all our work, we prioritise safety, accountability, and ethical practice.

Our approach is designed to promote safe, responsible engagement while providing professional assurance that services are delivered within robust safeguarding and governance frameworks, and to the highest standards.

A Child-Focused Approach

We promote safe, accountable, and professional. Services are delivered in line with clear policies and procedures that support consistency, transparency, and risk-aware decision-making.

Our standards focus on:

  • Child welfare and safeguarding

  • Clear professional boundaries

  • Impartial, non-judgemental practice

  • Evidence-informed approaches to behaviour and change

  • Defined roles, responsibilities, and escalation pathways

All work is delivered with an emphasis on professionalism, proportionality, and respect for those involved.

Public Protection

Public protection is central to how we design and deliver services. We recognise the potential risks associated with family contact and domestic abuse-related work and take a structured approach to managing those risks.

This includes:

  • Identifying and responding appropriately to safeguarding concerns

  • Promoting accountability and responsibility for behaviour

  • Avoiding minimisation, justification, or collusion

  • Working within professional remit and referring concerns where required

Where risks cannot be managed safely, services are reviewed in line with our safeguarding responsibilities.
