How do we know that we are safeguarding effectively?

Safeguarding children and Young People within your church or organisation is an important role and should be embedded throughout the day to day running of church/business life.

The following are key areas to ensure you have addressed:

  • Ensuring safeguarding practices are being followed
  • Sharing information & working with external agencies
  • Child protection procedures are being followed
  • Recording and storing information safely
  • Preventing & responding to bullying
