Child Protection Statement
Hope Church regard child protection and good working practice as a priority.
In the interests of the safety and well being of all children and young people, we have
developed and operate a formal child protection policy, which is registered with the
Churches' Child Protection
Advisory Service (CCPAS).
The church are committed to ensuring that everyone working with children or young people:
- has undergone a Criminal Records Bureau check at enhanced level
- is adequately trained and supervised
- understands and follows the church's child protection policy
The child protection policy may be viewed and/or a copy obtained from the church office (address here). As part of our commitment to children and young people, we have appointed Alison Aldridge as Child Protection Co-ordinator and David Bell as Deputy Child Protection Co-ordinator. All of the children and young people involved in activities within the church know who they are and how they can be contacted.
Should the church have any child protection concerns, we will seek the advice of the CCPAS and, if appropriate, contact the statutory authorities.
