Safeguarding

We believe that every child, young person and adult with care and support needs should be valued, safe and protected from harm at all times.

So safeguarding children, young people and adults with care and support needs is extremely important to us. We have a robust Safeguarding Policy and Safeguarding Guidelines in place that apply across the whole church, to all our activities and our leadership, employed staff and volunteers and to anyone working for or representing us. We work in partnership with Thirtyone:eight, the only independent Christian safeguarding charity in the UK and have signed their Safer Places Pledge.

Report to CEOP

If you want to report that someone has acted inappropriately towards you online, or to a child or young person you know (it may be sexual chat, being asked to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable or someone being insistent on meeting up), you can report it to CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection command of the National Crime Agency).
