Safeguarding

The Festival of Engineering 2024 programme has been designed to keep young people safe.

The safety and well-being of all children and young people attending our programmes is our priority. All UCL staff and students working on programmes are responsible for safeguarding. We believe all the children and young people we work with have the right to be treated equally and with respect, regardless of their background or personal circumstances.

Who we support

Our programmes support primary and secondary school children, parents, carers, teachers, mature students, and current UCL students. Some specific groups we work with, such as disabled young people, may have additional safeguarding needs.

About our programmes

Our programmes may take place in person, on the UCL campus or elsewhere, or online. Activities delivered in a school are covered by the school’s safeguarding procedures, and we comply with these as required.
