Safeguarding

We are committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of everyone within our community.

In common with the whole Church of England, at St Chad's we will:

• Promote a safer environment and culture
• Safely recruit and support all those with any responsibility related to children and vulnerable adults within the Church
• Respond promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation 
• Care pastorally for victims/survivors of abuse and other affected persons
• Care pastorally for those who are the subject of concerns or allegations of abuse and other affected persons
• Respond to those that may pose a present risk to others

These policy commitments are based on our five foundations:

• Gospel
• Human rights and the law
• Core principles
• Good safeguarding practice
• Learning from the past
