Safeguarding

MCR is committed to protecting all people who may be at increased risk of abuse, exploitation, neglect or harm.

This may include people experiencing:

• homelessness;
• severe financial hardship;
• domestic or family violence;
• disability;
• serious illness;
• social isolation;
• disaster or displacement;
• family crisis;
• caring hardship;
• age-related vulnerability; or
• other circumstances of significant disadvantage.

MCR has zero tolerance for abuse, exploitation, grooming, neglect, harassment, violence or improper use of a person’s vulnerability.

Anyone associated with MCR who becomes aware of an immediate or serious safeguarding concern must report it promptly through the appropriate internal and external pathways.
