Ethos Statement
The teaching of Christ establishes the special significance of every human being and especially the central place of children in the sight of God. Our church is committed to fulfil His law of love and to provide for the safety, well-being and proper development of all children, young people and vulnerable adults in our care.
We will also properly equip and support those adults who work with and relate to them.
Please view our safeguarding policy bellow. If you have any other questions, please send a message on our Contact Us page and our safeguarding officer will get back to you.
