Everyone should be safe here
If you see or hear something that makes you think a child, young person or vulnerable adult is being neglected or abused, do not hesitate to report it — whatever the circumstances and whoever is involved. Please do not try to investigate or resolve it yourself.
Report a concern
Contact the Methodist Safeguarding Team.
If a child or adult is in serious danger, phone the police.

Our safeguarding policy
In the Emmanuel Group of Churches we do our utmost to ensure that everyone in our community is kept safe. All staff and volunteers working with children and vulnerable adults are safely recruited.
Once in position, all undergo regular DBS checks and are required to attend compulsory ongoing safeguarding training. Alongside the policy we also have a leaflet explaining the key principles of safeguarding, and a Cause for Concern form to raise anything worrying with our Safeguarding Co‑ordinator.
