Lumira NI is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and professional service for children and young people. All work is carried out in line with Northern Ireland safeguarding principles, UK GDPR, and good practice expected within educational settings.

Safeguarding & Child Protection

Lumira NI recognises that safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people is a shared responsibility. All services are delivered with the child’s wellbeing as a priority and in accordance with Northern Ireland safeguarding guidance, including the principles set out in Co-operating to Safeguard Children and Young People in Northern Ireland. Confidentiality is respected at all times. However, where there is a concern about a child’s safety, welfare, or risk of harm, information will be shared with appropriate agencies in line with safeguarding procedures and statutory guidance.

​

Working in Partnership with Schools

When working with schools or educational settings, Lumira NI seeks to work collaboratively and professionally, recognising the school’s safeguarding responsibilities and internal procedures.

Where appropriate:

• School safeguarding leads will be consulted

• Concerns will be reported in line with agreed procedures

• Professional boundaries will be maintained at all times

Separate agreements may apply for services delivered within schools.
