Safeguarding Policy and Procedure

Safeguarding policy and procedures must be comprehensive and robust for all church bodies in our diocese. We are here to help you with this.

Your policies and procedures must cover promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults, working to prevent abuse from occurring, seeking to protect those who are at risk of being abused, responding well to those who have been abused and taking care to identify where a person may present a risk to others.
