About Play for Progress
This is an exciting moment for Play for Progress (PFP) as we celebrate our 10th anniversary and reflect on a decade of creative, therapeutic and community-building work with young people navigating the asylum system. Play for Progress is a Croydon-based charity dedicated to supporting unaccompanied young people seeking asylum, aged between 14 and 25. Through creative engagement, education, therapeutic support and community-building, we provide a space where young people can access opportunities, develop their skills, and find the support they need to navigate the challenges of displacement.

A genuine commitment to our mission and values is essential.

Purpose of the Role

Safeguarding

- Support the safe handling and documentation of safeguarding concerns, including gathering relevant information and assisting with referrals where appropriate.
- Maintain clear and confidential records of safeguarding decisions and actions taken
Partnership and Liaison
- Work collaboratively with relevant organisations and professionals where appropriate, including safeguarding leads within equestrian sport, statutory agencies and specialist support services
