Statement Overview
-
We recognise that both as a charity and as Christians, we have a responsibility to:
- Protect and promote the wellbeing of those who attend the church; paying particular attention to those who may be more vulnerable than others
- Ensure that we have suitable systems and processes in place to manage safeguarding risks, including the appointment of a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL)
- Report any safeguarding concerns that meet the threshold to the appropriate statutory services as soon as possible and certainly within 24 hours. Where immediate action is required to ensure safety, an urgent report to the Police (999) or the appropriate Social Services department will be made without delay Designated Safeguarding Lead: Ben Leaver Email: forgetyounotgardens@outlook.com Phone: 07800 834 636
