Safeguarding
The following policy statement was agreed at the
PCC meeting held on 12th July 2017
‘As members of the PCC we commit our church
community to the support, nurture, protection and safeguarding of all, especially
the young and vulnerable. We recognise that our work with children, young
people and vulnerable adults is the responsibility of the whole church
community. We are fully committed to acting within current legislation,
guidance, national frameworks and the Diocesan Safeguarding procedures. We will
also act in an open, transparent and accountable way in working in partnership
with the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser, Children and Adult Social Care
Services, the Police, Probation Services and other agencies to safeguard
children and vulnerable adults. We
welcome staff and volunteers who are recruited in accordance with House of
Bishops’ Interim Guidelines on Safer Recruitment 2013. This means we will ensure that those who are
employed or who volunteer to work with children, young people and vulnerable
adults are suitable for the role, that they know what the role entails and that
they are supported in carrying it out.’
