Safeguarding

We continue to be a church where 
people of all ages from young children
to senior adults can feel safe

The
DCC of All Saints Whitstable has adopted the safeguarding policies and procedures
of the Church of England. We are committed to…
•
safeguarding all children, young people and vulnerable adults
•
carefully selecting and training staff and volunteers, using the Disclosure and
Barring Service amongst other tools, to check their suitability
•
responding without delay to every complaint made which suggests that an adult,
child or young person may have been harmed or is at risk
•
cooperating fully with the police, local authority and any other appropriate
statutory body in any investigation
•
ministering appropriately to anyone who has experienced abuse
•
extending pastoral care to offenders, whilst ensuring that children and vulnerable
adults are protected from harm
