At New Hope Church we take the safety of your children and vulnerable adults very seriously. All volunteers involved are required to have regular safeguard training, along with a current DBS certificate. We have a current Safeguarding policy on display where we meet. This is reviewed annually and is available for you to view.<\/span><\/div>\n
Should you have any concerns you should speak to our Safeguarding Co-ordinator as soon as possible. She will take the appropriate action necessary to ensure the safety of those in our care.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our Safeguarding Co-ordinator is Mrs Julie Hall and you can contact her via…. Our Deputy Safeguarding Co-ordinator is Mrs Julie Richardson.<\/span><\/div>\n

Statement of commitment to safeguarding<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

Elim is committed to creating healthy churches and safe spaces for all. We recognise the ways in which children and adults can be at risk of harm or abuse, so endeavour to create a culture to minimise opportunities for abuse to occur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Children rely on adults to keep them safe, therefore all our churches working with children, either directly or indirectly, are committed to safeguarding children in their care. We seek to do this by providing a safe, stable, and nurturing environment where children can reach their full potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, within our churches there are adults in need of protection, care and support due to vulnerability, whether that is a permanent or temporary state. We are aware too that within our churches there are relationships of trust, which flourish best within healthy churches and environments, where there is openness, transparency and accountability.<\/span><\/p>\n

We firmly believe that safeguarding is everyone\u2019s responsibility, and all involved in the life of our churches and activities have a role to play in keeping children, young people and adults safe.<\/span><\/p>\n
