Latest News on Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults
Following our October 2020 Safeguarding Training Event, we have been working on a simplified Safeguarding Introduction and Template for Ecclesias.
The present template designed to cover all, may be unnecessarily complicated especially if there is little contact with children. The new Policy is based on the information offered on the NSPCC web site. It is different in that there is an expectation to build a Policy that is more relevant to the needs of your organisation.
There are three documents:
Why is a Safeguarding Policy required?- Frequently asked questions. Here.
Child Safeguarding Document. Here
Vulnerable Adults Safeguarding Document. Here
