Frequently Asked Questions

Project55(UK) is a Community Interest Company that advocates for a comprehensive approach to fostering positive change by addressing various social, economic, and environmental challenges. Based in the South West and operating across the UK, we aim to improve the resilience and sustainability of the communities in which we live, work, and socialise through informed decisions. We look forward to working in collaboration with public, private, and third-sector entities to deliver services that support the well-being and safeguarding of all age groups. 

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do you deal with abuse, anti-
social behaviours or Violence Against Women and Girls?

Our primary focus is on physical and cyber preventative measures through education and support to break the cycle of all forms of abusive behaviours. We also have access to an extensive network of local and national organisations who can offer specialist support.

Who do we work with?

We work with all age groups – no one is excluded from our services.

  • Individuals [on occasions, a responsible adult may need to be present with someone under 16 years of age].
  • Families and extended family.
  • Perpetrators.

In the workplace:

  • Directors, c-suite, and leadership teams. 
  • Employees/employers.
  • Front-line security professionals.    
  • Public, private and third-sector businesses.

What is a community drop-in?

A drop-in can be organised anywhere that is safe, such as the workplace, educational institution, or community centre. Depending on requirements, it may be a group drop-in or a pre-arranged one-to-one session. Regardless, it is a space where people have a voice, are listened to, and are not judged. This approach works well for all ages and provides an outreach element to our work.

(Confidentiality rules apply, as personal safety is the primary concern).

Confidentiality:

In addition to our confidentiality, safeguarding, and well-being policies, services and activities are compliant with the Data Protection Act 2018 and General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

We will work in confidence with clients unless:

  • There is likely to be harm to self or others resulting in an emergency or a life-threatening incident.
  • Actions are likely to cause serious harm to national security or public order, or the impact of a crime is likely to cause substantial financial loss.

DBS screening:

All paid or volunteer team members aged 16 or older are required to complete the Standard or Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service screening process, and only those with an Enhanced DBS can support or work with clients and groups under 16.

  • Employment (paid or voluntary) will only start once a satisfactory DBS screening and references have been received.
  • CareCheck provides the DBS screening services on behalf of Project55(UK) C.I.C.
