Our commitment
How we keep children safe
We run magic clubs in more than 45 primary schools and work with children every week. Safeguarding sits underneath everything we do.
- Enhanced DBS and barred-list checks where the role requires them
- Safer recruitment, with identity checks and references
- Safeguarding induction before any unsupervised work with children
- Regular refresher training for every member of staff
- Working alongside each school’s own DSL and procedures
- Guided by KCSIE 2026 and Working Together 2026
