Safeguarding in churches is essential for creating a safe and nurturing environment where everyone, especially vulnerable individuals such as children and at-risk adults, can feel protected and supported.

This practice involves implementing policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and exploitation, while promoting the well-being of all members.

By prioritizing safeguarding, we can demonstrate our commitment to the values of compassion, care, and responsibility, ensuring that our communities remain places of trust and refuge for everyone.
