Together for wildlife and people
At Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust we’re committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for everyone who engages with us, including visitors, staff, volunteers, and especially children, young people and adults at risk.
As an international conservation charity with a public facing zoo in Jersey, we take our safeguarding responsibilities seriously and strive to promote the welfare of all individuals who come into contact with our work.
Safeguarding is a shared responsibility. Whether you’re visiting us for the day, supporting our conservation work or volunteering your time – we all have a role to play in ensuring a safe and respectful environment for everyone.

We will:
- Promote a culture of safeguarding throughout all areas of Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.

- Ensure all employees, volunteers, partners and contractors understand their safeguarding responsibilities.
- Carry out appropriate checks for employees and volunteers working directly with children.
- Provide safeguarding training to all employees and volunteers.
- Maintain and regularly review our safeguarding policies and procedures in line with statutory guidance.
