Gather Church is committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults and to creating a safe place for everyone to worship and grow in Christ. Concerns about children, young people and vulnerable adults will be diligently and promptly responded to according to our procedures, recognising the sensitivity it may hold for those involved. 

Safeguarding Policy Guidance

We are supported in our safeguarding duty and care by the Diocese of London and follow their guidelines. The safe recruiting process is followed for all volunteers who work with children, young people and adults. This may require an application to the Disclosure and Barring service or an interview and references being taken up, prior to a volunteer joining the relevant teams. Concerns about children, young people and adults at risk will be responded to according to our procedures, by either our Church Safeguarding Officers or Clergy Team who may liaise with the Diocesan Safeguarding Team.

Information about our Safeguarding Policy and teams is displayed on noticeboards throughout the Church.
