Policies & protocols

Within our churches we are committed to respectful pastoral ministry to all adults and the safeguarding and protection of vulnerable people.

Our policy is to:

  • Seek to offer pastoral care to anyone who has suffered abuse
  • Carefully select and train those with formal pastoral responsibility initiating DBS Disclosures where appropriate
  • Respond without delay to any complaint made that an adult has been harmed
  • Challenge any abuse of power by anyone in a position of trust
  • Offer ministry to any member of our church community known to have offended against a vulnerable person.
