We believe that all people are valuable and worthy of both respect and care, because they are made in the image of God. We believe that God is the defender of the vulnerable and that the Lord Jesus cares for and values all children.

We believe we have a responsibility, before God, to care for children and vulnerable adults we come across and to protect them from harm. We recognise that this harm may be intentional or unintentional, may come from a parent, another adult or child, or even from the child’s own actions.

This safeguarding policy is designed to reduce the risk of harm to children and vulnerable people with who we come into contact.

We expect every individual to be treated with dignity, care and respect. All should earnestly strive to protect vulnerable people from harm and seriously address concerns and safety issues, which may include physical harm, sexual harm, emotional harm, self-harm and neglect.
