NADOS

Society Statement

 

We are aware that a former member of our society, pleaded guilty to criminal charges and was sentenced on Thursday 4th December relating to illegal and inappropriate images. We wish to make it clear that this matter is entirely unrelated to NADOS, its activities and any of its members.

​

The individual concerned has not been involved with the society during the course of the investigation and was suspended from the society immediately after we were made aware by the police and the St Helens Local Authority Designated Safeguarding Officer.

 

Our committee has acted responsibly to safeguard the society and its members, and we remain committed to providing a safe, welcoming and creative environment for all participants. We would like to confirm that no member of our society gave a character reference for use in court.

​

Their membership to our society is now permanently terminated due to the investigation.
