What it is

An audit of whether the safeguarding system works, not whether the file is complete. It maps where a child cannot be seen, vets the people who are never vetted, runs an unannounced disclosure drill with the leadership, and asks children where they would go and what would stop them. It ends with a score, a level, and a thirty-day plan.

What it is not

Not a policy template. Not a training. Not a police verification service. It is the system under pressure, scored, with the fix designed into it.

The method

Read the policy, the committee, the vetting file, the CCTV retention, the transport records and the last two years of concerns. Walk the perimeter with a camera: line of sight, dead zones, washrooms, the sports shed, the stairwell, the backstage room. Ask the extended workforce, who are never asked, and the children, through a qualified psychologist, about where they would go. Test with the sixty-minute drill: a parent, a disclosure, a coach with fifteen clean years and a defamation threat. Fix it in the thirty-day cure, starting with the dead zones and the unvetted contractors.

What we need from you

The policy and committee documents, the vetting files including contractors, the CCTV retention settings and access, the transport records, and access to the campus including the areas you would rather not show. And the leadership must not be told the date of the drill.

A sample finding

An institution had a child-protection policy and no one who could say what happened when a concern was raised. The gap was in the reporting path, and the fix made the path one step, not four.

₹1,50,000 to ₹4,50,000, by scope.

What moves it: the number of campuses, the contractor file, and the CCTV retention.

What happens next

  1. You send five answers — the headcount, the sites, what is in scope, who signs, and when you need it.
  2. We confirm the scope and the fee in writing, within two working days. If the range was wrong for your organisation, we say so and quote again.
  3. You receive the proposal, four pages, and the engagement letter. Both name what we will do and what we will not.
  4. We start on a date you choose, and the midpoint note reaches you before the finding does.
