Castle Point Plan Consultation

We’ve set out a bold, community-led strategy for sustainable growth across the Borough. The Castle Point Plan will set out where new development will be allocated, how much affordable housing will be built and more up to 2043.

Please give us your views in our consultation 

Safeguarding

The Council has adopted a Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults Policy. We are committed to protecting children, young people and adults and ensuring we embed safeguarding across all our services.

We provide our employees with training, supervision and support to recognise and respond to safeguarding concerns..

When suppliers, contractors and consultants work with us, they need to agree to follow our safeguarding standards or ensure they have robust safeguarding processes which compliment our own Policy.

Our Safeguarding Policy is relevant to:

  • our employees
  • our elected members
  • any consultants, contractors and agency staff working for us
  • members of the public volunteering with us
  • organisations, companies and individuals who are suppliers to us
