CSN provides Safeguarding Policy Templates, based on information on the NSPCC website, to provide ecclesias and organisations with a starting point to tailor to their own circumstances and needs for developing their own safeguarding policy documents.
Additionally, we draw your attention to the leaflet “Important Additional Responsibilities for Safeguarding and Protecting People” below, which picks up key issues for ecclesias and organisations, including:
- Responsibility of ‘due diligence’ on registered charities when gifting funds to other charities
- Confidentiality and how it affects keeping the Arranging Committee informed
- Protecting an accused individual’s identity
