Safeguarding
Green Street Green Baptist Church takes seriously its responsibilities for safeguarding those at risk of harm. We are committed to the nurture, protection and safekeeping of all associated with the church. Everyone working with children, young people and adults at risk, has a current enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check and undertakes safeguarding training, as required. We follow relevant legislation, safer recruitment practices and the Baptist Union of Great Britain ‘Excellence in Safeguarding’ Guidance.
Everyone involved in the life of the church has a role to play in promoting a safer church for all. The church has appointed a Safeguarding Team, led by:
Diane Whitehead
