Statement of Safeguarding Principles
Every person has a value and dignity, which comes directly from the creation of humans in God’s own image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s re-creation of us in Christ. Amongst other things, this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God, and therefore to protect them from harm.
Principles…
We are committed to:
- the care and nurture of, and respectful pastoral ministry with, all children, young people, and adults;
- safeguarding and protecting all children, young people, and adults when they are vulnerable;
- establishing safe, caring communities, which provide a loving environment where there is informed vigilance as to the dangers of abuse.
