SAFEGUARDING AT NTCG WILLESDEN

Willesden NTCG is a place of worship where all are welcomed, and it is important to ensure that all individuals are both protected and feel safe. Our Safeguarding policy, adopted from the NewTestament Church of God, is now available for all, especially for leaders and workers. Click here to download a copy of the Safeguarding Policy

• All leaders and workers become familiar with the Safeguarding Policy

• All leaders and workers to attend Level 1 – Foundational training – date to be confirmed

• Review and update safeguarding practices with leaders

• All workers to have a current DBS (Disclosure Barring Service) now a legal requirement

• Level 2 training for all leaders and deputies focusing on local procedure/good practice

In order to make improvements to what we already do we will be applying the 10 Standards for Creating Safer Places as promoted by the Christian Charity organisation, Thirtyone: eight (taken from Scriptures Proverbs 31:8) who is working in partnership with the National Office. The 10 standards are:

1. Safeguarding Policy

2. Developing Safeguarding Awareness and Training

3. Safer Recruitment

4. Management of Workers

5. Working Safely

6. Communicating Effectively

7. Responding to Concerns

8. Pastoral Care

9. Managing Those Who May Pose A Risk

10. Working in Partnership
