Safeguarding
At Grace Church, providing a safe and nurturing environment for our children and young people is a priority. We take the safeguarding of everyone seriously: all of our childrens volunteers are subject to a robust recruitment process, including references and DBS checks. We work closely with our teams to provide regular safeguarding and intimate care training, according to Grace Church’s bespoke procedures.
Our Safe Church team meet regularly to review policies and procedures to ensure they are effective in keeping children and young people safe.
