Safeguarding means the action that St. Chad’s takes to promote a safer

culture. This means we will promote the safeguarding and welfare of

children, young people and adults, work to prevent abuse from

occurring, seek to protect those that are at risk of being abused and

respond well to those that have been abused. We will take care to

identify where a person may present a risk to others and offer support to

them whilst taking steps to mitigate such risks.

St. Chad’s affirms the ‘Whole Church’ approach to safeguarding. This

approach encompasses a commitment to consistent policy and practice

 

across teams and that everyone associated with St. Chad’s, who comes

into contact with children, young people and adults, has a role to play.

St. Chad’s will take appropriate steps to maintain a safer environment for

all and to practice fully and positively Christ’s Ministry towards children,

young people and adults; to respond sensitively and compassionately to

their needs in order to help keep them safe from harm.
