International Child Safeguarding Policy

This present child safeguarding policy of 2026 builds on the foundation of past learning and experiences and provides a newer focus on leadership and governance to embed a culture of safeguarding where:

  • The Church (including the Congregation) has an important role to play in creating and maintaining an environment in which children and young people can grow and flourish in their humanity and come to experience the dignity that Jesus proclaimed.
  • Children will be welcome and safe.
  • Church personnel will uphold the rights of children in line with Gospel values.
