Safeguarding & Compliance

📄 Policies & Documents

Our full set of adopted policies and procedures, available to download. These govern every session, referral and record at L-Fit Pathways.

All 17 policies below have been formally adopted by our co-directors. A small number of organisation-specific details (shown in the documents themselves where still outstanding) are being finalised and will be updated shortly — this does not affect the validity of the policy itself.
