The Parish Safeguarding Committee is made up of of voluntary participants, with experience or interest in working with children, young people and vulnerable adults.

Our overall goal is to develop and promote effective safeguarding practices for these groups. Each volunteer will:

• Be Vetted by Access NI.

• Attend a Safeguarding Preparation Course.

• Attend an Introduction to Adult Safeguarding Course.

• Attend a Level 1 Safeguarding Course.

An annual audit will take place to ensure that Individuals receiving our service or who are in contact with your organisation are safe and free from abuse or neglect or the risk of abuse or neglect.​

​

The role of the Safeguarding Committee is to to ensure that children, young people and vulnerable adults in our Parish can safely engage in Parish activities and that those who work with them are aware of, and conform to, the best practice in safeguarding according to Diocesan policies.

Additionally the Parish Safeguarding Committee requires independent and commercial groups who use Parish facilities to confirm that they too, conform to the Diocesan policies and procedures.

Below are the Safeguarding Committee's list of members.
