Denby PCC Policies
At St Mary's Church we are committed to valuing all people and providing an environment in which everyone can be nurtured and safe. As a church in the Derby Diocese we follow the current diocesan guidance, policies and training related to safeguarding, which draw on the policies and guidance of the House of Bishops of the Church of England. At its meeting on 12 November 2019, Denby Parochial Church Council voted unanimously to adopt the “The Church of England’s Promoting a Safer Church Safeguarding Policy for children, young people and adults.”
This document contains the following six Policy Commitments:
1. Promoting a safer environment and culture.
2. Safely recruiting and supporting all those with any responsibility related to children and vulnerable adults within the Church.
3. Responding promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation.
4. Caring pastorally for victims/survivors of abuse and other affected persons.
5. Caring pastorally for those who are the subject of concerns or allegations of abuse and other affected persons.
6. Responding to those that may pose a present risk to others.
