Safeguarding

We are committed to the safeguarding of all children, young people, and adults when they are vulnerable. We aim to establish safe, caring communities which provide a loving environment where there is a culture of ‘informed vigilance’ as to the dangers of abuse.

• We accept the responsibilities of the church for all work with children, young people and adults when they are vulnerable carried out in the name of the church
• We follow the procedures and guidance contained within the Canterbury Diocesan Safeguarding Guidelines in respect of DBS Disclosure checks, risk assessments and all other safeguarding practice and procedures.
• We have appointed Coordinators to oversee the safeguarding of children, young people and adults when they are vulnerable.
