Child Protection Policy Statement

“We as Churches Together in Heald Green Youth Initiative are committed to practices that protect children from harm. Staff and volunteers in this Initiative recognise and accept our responsibilities to develop the awareness of the issues that cause children harm”

Definition

For the purposes of these policies and procedures children are any persons under the age of 18 years, or those who are considered vulnerable
.
We will endeavour to safeguard children by

  • Adopting child protection policies and guidelines through a code of behaviour for staff and volunteers
  • Sharing information about concerns with agencies who need to know, and involving parents and children appropriately.
  • Ensuring that the Criminal Records Bureau in accordance with their guidelines and in conjunction with Stockport Youth Services, or, where appropriate, through the Churches Agency for Safeguarding check all staff and volunteers with responsibility for children.
  • Making all new staff and volunteers aware of our child protection procedures and policies.
  • Appointing two designated persons to enable concerns to be reported in accordance with our procedures.
  • We are also committed to reviewing our policy and good practice at regular intervals.
