We never charge for placement
Registering with SANF and joining our training is free. SANF never asks for money to place you in a job or to give you a grant. If anyone asks you to pay in SANF's name, do not pay. Report it to [email protected] or call +234 705 827 0219.
Safeguarding young people
SANF works with young people aged 15 and over. Some are under 18, so our safeguarding policy covers children as well as young adults.
Our policy commits us to:
- A named lead. Our Designated Safeguarding Lead receives and acts on every concern.
- Checks on adults. Before working with young people, staff, volunteers and mentors give photo ID and two references. Anyone working with under-18s also provides a police character certificate.
- A code of conduct. All adults sign one. It sets clear boundaries: no one-to-one contact with under-18s out of view, no private messaging with under-18s outside agreed channels, and no relationships that misuse trust.
- Parental consent for participants under 18.
- Consent for photos and stories. We only use names, photos or stories of young people with their written consent (and a parent's or guardian's consent for under-18s).
- Safe reporting. Anyone can raise a concern by email, by phone or in person at our office. We take every report seriously, and we refer cases to the authorities where the law requires.
