In summary our policy is to:

• Respect all individuals
• Take every precaution to protect children and vulnerable adults when involved in church activities
• Ensure those using our buildings know and follow protection guidelines
• Promote good practice by those who work and volunteer with children and vulnerable adults
• Take allegations of concern and abuse seriously
• Put the needs of the child or vulnerable adult first in the case of an allegation
