Policies & Procedures

The BLAST Project believes that all boys and young men have the right to feel safe and enjoy a happy and healthy life which is free from neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse and sexual abuse. BLAST takes what is said by boys and young men very seriously and will take every effort to listen, clarify and take appropriate action when necessary.

What you say will only be told to others for your safety and well being and the safety and well being of others.
