Safeguarding 

Promoting a Safer Church

The church recognises its responsibilities in safeguarding all children, young people and adults at risk, regardless of gender, ethnicity or ability.

The members of the church are committed to the nurturing, protection and safekeeping of all associated with the church and will pray for them regularly. In pursuit of this,  they have agreed the safeguarding policy which can be viewed or downloaded using the link below.  The church is committed to this policy and to the development of sound procedures to ensure it implements the policy well.

If anyone is considered to be in imminent danger of harm, a report should be made immediately to the police by calling 999.  If such a report is made without reference to the Designated Person for Safeguarding, they should be informed as soon as possible afterwards.
 
The duty of the person who receives information or who has a concern about the welfare of a child, young person or adult at risk is to RECOGNISE the concerns, make a RECORD in writing and RESPOND by passing on their concerns to the Designated Person for Safeguarding.
