St Aidan's Policy Statement on Children, Young People and Our Church

 

 

 

  • As members of this church we commit ourselves to the nurturing, protection and safekeeping of all, especially children and young people.

 

  • It is the responsibility of each one of us to prevent the physical, sexual and emotional abuse of children and young people and to report any abuse discovered or suspected.

 

  • We recognise that our work with children and young people is the responsibility of the whole church.

 

  • The church is committed to supporting, resourcing and training those who work with children and young people and to providing supervision.

 

  • Our Church is committed to following the guidelines and procedures published by the Diocese of Manchester.

 

  • The parish will adopt good practice guidelines.

 

  • Each worker with children and young people must know the guidelines and undertake to follow them.  Each shall be given a copy of the Parish’s agreed procedures and Good Practice Guidelines.

 

  • As part of our commitment to children and young people the PCC has appointed Joanne Elcock to be the Parish Child Protection Co-ordinator.

 

 

This statement was agreed at the PCC Meeting on 8th March 2010.
