SAFEGUARDING



SAFEGUARDING POLICY

Esher Green Baptist Church is committed to providing a safe environment for everyone within our church community. We are also committed to providing an environment where all people, especially those who may be vulnerable are able to worship and pursue their faith journey with encouragement and in safety.

As part of this commitment, we take seriously our responsibilities for safeguarding children and vulnerable adults, and have robust policies and procedures in place to ensure our staff and volunteers are using best practice.

Our policies and procedures are discussed annually and updated as necessary. Our latest policy document can be found below:
