Policy Statement for the Safeguarding of Children and Adults
Parish of Warblington with Emsworth
Safeguarding in the parish of Warblington with Emsworth is taken very seriously and impacts on all that the parish does. The overall responsibility for safeguarding rests with the PCC (Parochial Church Council) which has appointed Terri Kemp as its Parish Safeguarding Representative.
Clergy, lay staff and volunteers who work within the parish are required to follow good practice as laid out by the PCC in conjunction with the Diocese, in order to protect and safeguard the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We are committed to ensuring that those working with such groups are carefully recruited, undergo a criminal record check (Disclosure and Barring Service check which is updated every 5 years), complete regular safeguarding training and are trained and supported in their role. The Safeguarding Policy Statement is displayed in both churches and the parish hall.
