Safeguarding Considerations During Coronavirus

Inevitably at this time churches are being encouraged to think about those who may be in greater need, isolated or unable to get out and about. Whilst working within government and health guidance about levels of contact and self-isolation we also want to remember standard safeguarding practice including:

• being clear about the role any visitor is performing
• making sure that anyone who is visiting has oversight from the church
• making sure that someone else is told about the visit, its purpose and reporting back any points of particular concern
• anyone who wishes to start visiting at this time undergoes standard safe recruitment processes
