Safeguarding

Safeguarding Considerations During Coronavirus

The Methodist Church is committed to safeguarding as an integral part of its life and ministry. Safeguarding is about the action the Church takes to promote a safer culture.This means we will:

• Promote the welfare of children, young people and adults
• Work to prevent abuse from occurring
• Seek to protect and respond well to those that have been abused

Attached are a number of useful documents, including the Creating Safer Space (CSS) Foundation Module handbook, and the Past Case Review (PCR) 'Courage, Cost, & Hope' report along with a CSS Foundation Course document outlining who should attend training.
Please also take a moment to look at the Safeguarding Resource Folder which has lots of useful information.
