The Bible teaches that each one of us must love our neighbour (Matthew 19:19), and Jesus Christ highlighted children as particular objects of his care and concern (Matthew 18:1-10). Christians must therefore take seriously their responsibility to protect the welfare of children entrusted to their care.
Our safeguarding objectives at Christ Church Salisbury:
- To keep children and vulnerable adults entrusted to our care safe from harm
- To seek to ensure that children and vulnerable adults entrusted to our care are never
subjected to any form of abuse by church members. - To ensure that the whole church is aware of the need to protect from harm all
members and visitors, particularly children and adults at risk. - We undertake to exercise proper care in the appointment and selection of those who
will work with children and adults with care and support needs. - To make staff and volunteers aware of the appropriate procedures to follow in the event of any concerns about a child or vulnerable adult’s welfare or any allegations of abuse
