‘It’s Not Just Policy, It’s Personal’ is a campaign running to raise awareness of how to recognise and report safeguarding concerns.
Resources are available to churches and church groups with the aim of building confidence in responding and taking appropriate action.
Safeguarding guidance and codes of conduct are statutory and must always be followed – but this campaign reminds us that at the centre of every safeguarding concern is a person, who has taken the difficult step of disclosing harm or risk.
Creating a safe space for people to report, and how we respond to them, matters.
Do check out the resources here – we hope they are helpful to you. These are designed to be flexible and can be used in a way that suits your setting, whether digitally, in print, or as part of local conversations. A guide to using the resources is included to help you decide how best to use them in your context.
