Safeguarding

We believe that every individual is made in the image of God and is of unique and significant value; worthy of the highest standards of care.

As staff and volunteers, it is both our delight and our duty to create a safe and enjoyable environment for all children and young people we serve. 

Therefore, we are committed to practice that promotes their welfare & wellbeing, and protects them from harm.
