Working Safely with Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults
The welfare of children and young people, aged 0 to 17, and adults experiencing greater or lesser degrees of vulnerability at different times who attend worship and activities in our Church is paramount. We seek to listen to them and treat them with respect and integrity at all times, working in ways that are open and accountable and responding promptly to any concerns Anyone who has contact with children, young people or vulnerable adults in their church role must follow The Church of England's Code of Safer Working Practice and Safer Environments & Activities Guidance: + Safer Environment & Activities+ Code of Safer Working PracticeResources for Safer PracticeSafe Practice Leaflets for Leaders & Helpers• Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults • Safeguarding Ourselves in Pastoral Relationships • How do we keep you safe? - for children How do we keep you safe at choir? - for children How do we keep your child safe? - for parents/carers How do we keep your child safe at choir? - for parents/carers
