Safeguarding

Safeguarding is at the heart of our faith and our mission as a Methodist community. We are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone, particularly children, young people, and vulnerable adults. Safeguarding is not just about responding to concerns; it is about fostering an environment where people feel valued, listened to, and protected.

As followers of Christ, we are called to model his care and compassion. This commitment is central to our worship, fellowship, and service. It means that safeguarding is not an additional task but a fundamental part of how we live and work together.

The Methodist Church Safeguarding Policies and Guidance can be accessed here.

To help ensure the safety and well-being of all, we have created several resources to guide and support our Circuit community:
