Hello
I'm Katie and I am the circuit safeguarding officer for the Glossop and Tameside Methodist Circuit.
Safeguarding Policy
Statement of Safeguarding Principles
It is the Methodist Church’s intention to value every human being as part of God’s creation and the whole people of God. At the heart of the Methodist community is a deep sense of the place of welcome, hospitality and openness, which demonstrates the nature of God’s grace and love for all.
Our church communities are called to be places where the transformational love of God is embodied and life in all its fullness is a gift, which is offered to all people.
Principles
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.
We are committed to:
-
the care and nurture of, and respectful pastoral ministry with, all children, young people and adults
-
safeguarding and protecting all children, young people and adults when they are vulnerable
-
establishing safe, caring communities, which provide a loving environment where there is informed vigilance as to the dangers of abuse.
