Safeguarding Policy
​
The Methodist Church Safeguarding Hub can be reached here where there are contact details for the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire District Safeguarding Officer.
The United Reformed Church Safeguarding page can be reached here where the contact details for the East Midlands Synod Safegurding Officer can be found.
The people of this Church are concerned with the wholeness of each individual within God's purpose.
We seek to safeguard people of all ages and therefore it is the responsibility of each of us to protect children, young people and vulnerable adults especially, from any form of physical, sexual or emotional harm.
Where activities are organised by this Church for children and young people, or vulnerable adults, the organisers must seek to provide a safe environment, suitable for the activities planned. Non Church related groups/organisations who wish to use the Church premises will be advised of the policy statement, which is in line with the Home Office Code of Practice for the "Safeguarding of children & young people in voluntary organisations". The organisers of all such groups will be expected to make every effort to follow the associated guidelines.
A copy of the Policy Statement and Guidelines will be given to such organisations when booking. Further copies are available from the Church Secretary's Office.
All the images of children used on this web site are intentionally anonymous and have been provided with the permission of their parents/guardians.
If you suspect anyone of causing anyone harm or failing to adhere rigidly to the Safeguarding Policy and Required Guidelines you should immediately inform a Church Steward, the Minister or the Superintendent Minister or the District or Synod Safeguarding officers.
