Applies to: All trustees, consultants, board members, employees, officers, staff, interns, volunteers, researchers, consultants, advisers, partners and visitors or users (both online and onsite) of the Museum of Art & Photography (MAP), a unit of the Art & Photography Foundation (AFP).
Purpose: MAP’s mission is to bring art and culture back into the heart of the community, making it accessible to a wide and diverse audience.
Education and public engagement are fundamental to what we do at MAP. Our programmes seek to provide a wide range of inclusive opportunities for the lifelong learning, discovery and enjoyment of the visual arts, heritage and culture through relevant formal and informal programming. Younger audiences form a particularly important focus group for these programmes, and MAP is committed to their safety and wellbeing. While many of our young visitors may be part of organised groups or visiting with family or friends, and the primary responsibility for the child or young person rests with accompanying or supervising adults, we believe in providing an atmosphere of trust and respect, recognising that children and young people have a right to protection.
As part of MAP’s vision towards taking a 360° approach to inclusion, MAP’s programming will also feature proactive outreach towards young and adult audiences with disabilities and hailing from minority, underprivileged and hard-to-reach communities. An emphasis on ensuring that all visitors who avail themselves of our services and participate in our spaces both onsite and online are equally protected from potential harm or actual harm forms part of the Museum’s commitment to providing a safe and welcoming space for all.
It is essential therefore, that we have a clear safeguarding policy that all MAP staff and volunteers understand which is supported by robust procedures that they adhere to.
