Safeguarding

We, at Holmgate Church, take the Safeguarding of people very seriously.  We want all people coming to any of our activities to feel safe and secure and to be treated and respected as individuals.

ALL helpers in any of our activities have a Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS).

We have a Safeguarding Co-ordinator and a Deputy Safeguarding Co-ordinator.  They are available to speak with you at any time.  A list of their contact details may be found on the notice board in the church entrance.

Our Safeguarding Manual containing our Policy and the Safe Recruiting of Volunteers was adopted by the Church Meeting on 23 April 2013, a copy of which is available upon request.

If you are reading this and you have any concerns, then please contact our Child Safeguarding Officer or the Churches Child Protection Advisory Service on 0845 1204550 or your local Social Services Department or the Police.  ALL of whom are available 24 hours a day.
