“There is a growing understanding that protecting children, young people and vulnerable adults is at the core of our faith. Safeguarding is about creating churches that are a safe space for everyone; a space where children can flourish and adults can live up to their potential. It is about enabling everyone to come to Jesus without stumbling blocks of abuse, ignorance, fear, compassion fatigue or the failure to recognise the experiences that so many carry within our communities.”

Elizabeth Hall, Safeguarding Advisor, Methodist Church in Britain  

 


Safeguarding

SafeguardingThe aim of the Methodist Church Safeguarding policy is to create Christian communities of love and care, where good practice in this area becomes a way of life. To enable churches to achieve this aim, and in light of new legislation and government guidance, the Methodist Church has produced a new resource – the Methodist Safeguarding Handbook.

It contains the latest policies and procedures which have been approved by the 2010 Methodist Conference and which will come into effect on 1 January 2011. By following the guidelines, your church community will be complying with the latest government guidance and creating a safe space for all.

The Methodist Safeguarding Handbook

The handbook is available to purchase from Methodist Publishing for £20 + P&P, or it can be downloaded below in five sections.

Safeguarding Children and Young People (pdf)
This policy has been approved by the Methodist Council and replaces the 2003 edition.

Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults (pdf)
A new policy approved by the 2010 Methodist Conference.

Guidance to Prevent Domestic Abuse / Violence (pdf)
These practical measures support, and should be read alongside, the 2005 Methodist Conference report Taking Action.

Model Safeguarding Policies (pdf)
Designed for churches and circuits.

Recruiting Safely (pdf)
While the government reviews the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) and Criminal Records Bureau (CRB), churches, circuits and districts are advised to use this interim policy approved by the 2010 Methodist Conference. 
The final policy that takes into account the government’s findings will be automatically sent to purchasers of the Methodist Safeguarding Handbook.
