Parents and
carers, the
safety of your
child/children
is very
important to us
.
APC is
registered with
the Church Child
Protection
Advisory Service
who are our
‘umbrella’ group
and who
supervise our
Criminal Record
Bureau checks.
We are also
advised by the
Diocese Of
Lichfield.
The Safe from
Harm and Child
Protection
Policy and
Procedures are
available for
anyone to see
and are kept in
the
church office.
The Child
Protection
Coordinator is
Lynne Trew and
she can be
contacted on
01922 452010.
|
She will happily discuss
with you our policies
and procedures for
ensuring the safety of
our young people and
children.
Any concerns regarding
the welfare and safety
of any child or young
person whilst in the
churches care must be
reported as soon as
possible to Lynne who is
nominated by the church
council to act on its
behalf.
Under no circumstances
should a church worker
or volunteer or member
of the public carry out
their own investigations
into the allegation or
suspicion of abuse.
In
the absence of the
coordinator or if the
coordinator is
implicated then the
contact person is Rev
Richard Cornfield. (see
number below) Advice can
be given by any of the
other numbers.
Training sessions are
held regularly to ensure
all workers with our
children and young
people are familiar with
the procedures and
understand the
importance of working to
best practice at all
times.
