Safeguarding at Redeemer Church Manchester

At Redeemer we understand the importance of safeguarding and ensuring our children and young people are protected from harm. We believe that it is our responsibility as members of the community and people who love and serve the Lord to be committed to ensure that the safeguarding training and policies at Redeemer are up to date and shared regularly with those serving on the children’s teams.

The care and protection of children, young people and adults involved in church activities is the responsibility of everyone who participates in the life of the Church.

OUR COMMITMENTS:

  • Promoting a safer environment and culture

  • Safely recruiting and supporting all those with any responsibility related to children and vulnerable adults

  • Responding promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation

  • Caring pastorally for victims/survivors of abuse or other affected persons

  • Caring pastorally for those who are the subject of concerns/allegations of abuse or other affected persons

  • Responding to those that may pose a present risk

  • If you are concerned that someone you know is at risk of, or is being abused, or presents a risk to others, please seek advice from a Safeguarding Adviser or if necessary report the matter to the Local Authority Social Care Services or the Police without delay.
