🤝 Safeguarding & Inclusive Practice

KINDMINDSWITHKM LTD follows UK-wide safeguarding policies and adapts them to support neurodivergent and neurotypical clients, as well as anyone facing systemic barriers. We take concerns seriously and act with transparency and care.

  • We create safety plans together when needed.

  • We explain safeguarding steps clearly and check in regularly.

  • We aim to make service accessible, respectful, and affirming for everyone.

  • We follow safeguarding principles, including:

    • Empowerment - People being supported and encouraged to make their own decisions and informed consent

    • Prevention - It is better to take action before harm occurs.

    • Proportionality - The least intrusive response appropriate to the risk presented.

    • Protection - Support and representation for those in greatest need.

    • Partnership - Local solutions through services working with their communities. Communities have a part to play in preventing, detecting and reporting neglect and abuse.

    • Accountability - Accountability and transparency in safeguarding practice.

 

🤝 Trauma-Informed & Neurodivergence-Friendly Relationship-Based Practice

We build relationships that feel safe, respectful, and supportive. Our approach is shaped by trauma-informed values and an understanding of neurodivergence.

 

What This Means in Practice:

  • We listen without judgment. You don’t need to mask, explain, or justify your experience.

  • We offer clear choices. You can decide how sessions work best for you—pace, format, communication style.

  • We check in regularly. We ask how things are feeling and adjust based on your feedback.

  • We respect sensory needs. You can take breaks, use tools, or adapt the environment to feel more comfortable.

  • We honour boundaries. You set the limits, and we follow them.

  • We explain things clearly. No jargon, no pressure—just honest, accessible information.

  • We value lived experience. Your insights shape how we work together.

  • We understand and respect the impact of trauma—especially when it relates to neurodivergence. We recognise that trauma can affect how people think, feel, communicate, and connect. We are committed to supporting people who have experienced:

    • Neurodivergence-related trauma — including masking, misdiagnosis, exclusion, and misunderstanding.

    • Developmental and psychological trauma — including neglect, abuse, and disrupted attachment across the lifespan.

    • Social trauma — including stigma, rejection, bullying, and discrimination.

    • Systemic trauma — including institutional failures, lack of support, and barriers in education, healthcare, and social services.

  • We work with care, clarity, and consent. We adapt our approach to meet your needs and honour your lived experience.

​

This approach supports emotional safety, autonomy, and trust. It’s designed to meet you where you are, without assumptions or expectations.

​​​

🧭 Ethical Practice & Accountability

Our work is guided by lived experience, trauma-informed values, and a commitment to collective responsibility. We welcome feedback and honour your autonomy.​

  • We respect your boundaries and communication preferences.

  • We design resources and sessions to support clarity, agency, and emotional well-being.

  • We have regular supervision to reflect on our practice and stay accountable.

  • We keep our training and knowledge up to date.
