Safeguarding

This Church agrees that children, young people and adults have a right to live in a way that does not cause them harm or impede their human rights. We therefore acknowledge their right to protection from abuse – regardless of gender, ethnicity, disability, sexuality or beliefs. We consider that, in accordance with legislation, the welfare of children and adults at risk is paramount. We will follow legislation, statutory guidance, and recognised good practice. Safeguarding is taken seriously by everyone in this Church, and all concerns and allegations of abuse will be responded to appropriately, including referring to the Police and Social Care Services (Children or Adult) if necessary. We will co-operate with the Police, Children and Adult Services in any investigation, follow multi-agency decisions, and maintain the confidentiality of any investigations. We are committed to safer recruitment and selection of all paid staff and volunteers, and will ensure that relevant procedures are followed (which includes)

Asking applicants to complete an application form
Providing workers with role/job descriptions and person specifications,
Obtaining Disclosure and Barring checks where legally entitled to do so
Taking up two references (not family) and
Interviewing candidates

Training in safeguarding will be provided, and volunteers and paid staff given support and supervision.

All trustees, paid staff and volunteers work within a code of conduct and understand that action may be taken if this code is not followed – possibly involving suspension or termination of working/volunteering with us.
