Safeguarding Safeguarding
Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male
and female
In God's own image and likeness.
Christians see this potential
as fulfilled
by God's re-creation ofus in Christ.
Among other things this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image
of God and therefore to protect them from harm.
Methodist
Connexional
practice outlines commitment
to the following
principles:
a) The care and nurture
and respectful
ministry
with all children
and young people
and adults.
b) The safeguarding
and protection ofag children
and young people and adults when
they are vulnerable.
c) Byestablishing
ofsafe caring communities
which provide a loving environment
where
there is informed vigilance as to the dangers ofabuse.
d) We will carefully select and train all those with any responsibility
within the church
in love
with safer recruitment
principles
including the use ofcriminal
records disclosures
and
registration
with the relevant
vetting and barring schemes.
e) We will respond without
delay to every complaint
made which suggests that an
adult,
child or young person may have been harmed,
by co-operating
with the police and
local authority
in any Investigation.
f) We will seek to work with anyone who has suffered abuse developing
with them
an appropriate
ministry of informed
pastoral care.
g) We will seek to challenge
any abuse of power especially
by anyone
in a position
oftrust.
h) We will seek to offer pastoral care and support
including
supervision
and refer to
the proper authorities
any member ofour church community
known to have offended
against a child or young person or vulnerable
adult.
I) In all these principles
will follow legislation
guidance
and recognised good practice.
The North Wiltshire circuit commits Itself to ensuring
the implementation
of Connexional
safeguarding
policy; government
legislation, guidance
and safe practice in the circuit and
In the churches.
The North Wiltshlre
circuit commits itself to a vision ofsupport advice and training
for lay
and ordained
people that ensures
people are clear and confident about their roles
and
responsibilities

and promoting the welfare of children
and adults who
may be vulnerable.
