Where possible staff should not use their personal email address, home address or telephone line (fixed or mobile) to communicate with children, young people or clients.

In all situations a sudden or urgent communication must still be approved by the appropriate senior manager.

In all cases ensure that your relationships with young people are known, approved and recorded by your line manager or the senior leadership team. In the case of young children, parents should be informed that you are communicating with them.

Safeguarding is about preventing the abuse of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

As Christians we are charged to love and care for each other. This is particularly true where the most vulnerable members of our community are involved.

The Methodist Church takes its responsibilities in this regard very seriously. The Church has significant contact with children, young people and their families through its Sunday and weekday activities. All Churches within the Methodist Connexion are aware and informed about the issues related to Child Protection and are able to respond to situations that arise with appropriate action and/or advice.

These responsibilities extend also to organisations which may hire Methodist Church premises.

More particular details are available in the sub-sections of the Safeguarding menu.

More general information regarding Safeguarding should be posted here.
