As followers of Jesus we aim to follow him by sharing God’s love and care with everyone we come into contact with, especially children and adults with additional care and support needs. We aim to create a safe environment in which everyone can feel safe and thrive emotionally and spiritually. We take our safeguarding responsibilities seriously and will report and record any abuse that we discover or suspect as documented in our safeguarding policy.
All our staff and volunteers are trained and committed to providing an environment and culture that is safe.
All our volunteers working in the children/young people’s groups, Growbaby and Squidlets have enhanced DBS checks which make up part of our safer recruitment process.
If for any reason you have cause for concern over the care we are providing, please do not hesitate to contact our Safeguarding Coordinator, Nikki Kite or Senior Pastor Nathan Gilbert.
If you are concerned that someone you know is at risk of, or is being abused, or presents a risk to others, please seek advice from a Safeguarding Adviser or if necessary, report the matter to the Local Authority Social Care Services or the Police without delay.
