Safeguarding

Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God's own image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God's re-creation of us in Christ. This implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm. We take this responsibility seriously and offer training in safeguarding to our volunteers and members.

Please see our safeguarding policies, including our policy for live-streaming church services:
