Our Policies & Documentation

We are committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of the children and people of all ages in our church community.

All paid staff and volunteers working on behalf of the church with children, young people or adults at risk are recruited in accordance with safer recruiting policies, including DBS enhanced disclosure checks.

All such staff are supplied with a copy of our approved Guidelines, which includes the names and details of the people to contact in case of ANY concerns.

If you have any concerns, please contact our Safeguarding Officer, Roland Knight, on safeguarding@cca.uk.net.
