Our three churches recognise that the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults is paramount and that we have a duty of care when they are in our charge. We will do everything that we can to provide a safe and caring environment whilst they attend our activities.

We will:

• Treat all children, young people and vulnerable adults and groups with respect and celebrate their achievements.
• Recruit and select all those working with children, young people and vulnerable adults or groups on our behalf in accordance with Church of England Practice Guidance on Safer Recruitment.
• Provide a code of conduct for all staff to include the assessment of risk for key roles when working with children, young people and vulnerable adults.
• Respond to concerns and allegations without delay in accordance with Diocesan Safeguarding procedures.
