FOR ST ANDREW’S BAPTIST CHURCH
Young People and Adults at Risk in the Church
The purpose of St Andrew’s Baptist Church:
It exists to glorify God by equipping God’s people to serve Jesus, God’s Son, in order that they can reach God’s world, so that every man, woman and child can have the opportunity to hear, understand and receive the Gospel and every believer be integrated into a local community where they can actively be involved in the “Great Commission”.
At St Andrew’s Baptist Church, we recognise our responsibilities to safeguarding everyone who is a member or attends any of our meetings. We take notice of and adhere to all the national and local policies and guidance regarding Safeguarding.
Safeguarding is summarised as:
- Preventing and reporting of abuse so everyone is protected from harm with no damage to their health and development within the limits of St Andrew’s Baptist Church.
- Providing safe recruitment, support and supervision of workers resulting in promoting the safeguarding of children, young people and adults at risk.
- Developing safe working practices in order to provide a safe environment and community where respect is shown and where children, young people and adults at risk can thrive.
- Listening to and taking seriously all those who disclose abuse.
- Caring for and monitoring any member of the church community who may pose a risk to children, young people and adults whilst maintaining appropriate confidentiality and safety of all parties.
