Safeguarding
‘For I know the plans I have for you’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’. (Jeremiah 29 v11)The church makes every effort to safeguard the welfare of children and vulnerable adults involved in worship and all church-based activities both on and off our premises. We aim to make church a safe and accepting place for all people.
Church leaders and all people working with children, or vulnerable adults are trained in safeguarding matters and DBS checked.
