All Hallows Safeguarding Policy

As members of this PCC we are committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of all of our members.
We recognise that safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.
We are committed to implementing all safeguarding policies and practice guidance issued by the House of Bishops.
We will carefully select and train all those who work or volunteer in positions of trust. We will use the Disclosure and Barring service, amongst other tools, to check the background of each person.
We will respond, without delay, to every concerned that a person for whom we are responsible may have been harmed.
We will co-operate fully with the statutory agencies during any investigation concerning a member of the church community.
We will seek to ensure that anyone for whom we have pastoral responsibility who has suffered abuse is offered support that meets their needs.
We will respond appropriately to those who have committed sexual offences who want to join our fellowship, following the House of Bishop's guidance and the advice of the Safeguarding Team.
We will review this policy annually and as part of this process will ensure that all our 
procedures, particularly in relation to the Disclosure and `bring Service, are up to date.
