SAFEGUARDING
The Methodist Church is committed to safeguarding as an integral part of its life and ministry. Safeguarding is about the action the Church takes to promote a safer culture.
This means we will:
-
promote the welfare of children, young people and adults
-
work to prevent abuse from occurring
-
seek to protect and respond well to those that have been abused
