Safeguarding Policy

Sorted Church has adopted the Church of England Safeguarding Policy Statement and our procedures are in line with this.

These procedures have been produced in accordance with the Department of Health and Home Office guidance on developing and implementing multi-agency policies and procedures to protect children and vulnerable adults from abuse, as laid down in the “No Secrets” and “Speaking up for Justice” documents. Guidance has also been sourced from the “Working Together to Safeguard Children” (2018); “Keeping Children Safe in Education” (2019), and the Bradford Safeguarding Adults Board.

Sorted Church operates zero tolerance concerning the abuse of children and vulnerable adults. This will include any or all of these types of abuse which may be perpetrated as the result of deliberate intent, negligence or ignorance. For further details, please read our full Safeguarding Policy.
