Policy Statement: On Safeguarding the Welfare of Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults
As the people of Mudeford Lane Methodist Church in the Christchurch and Wimborne Circuit, we are concerned with the wholeness and well-being of each individual. We strive to safeguard all members of the church community whatever their age. We acknowledge it is the responsibility of each one of us to prevent the physical, sexual or emotional abuse of children, young people and vulnerable adults and to ensure that opportunities for such abuse to occur are minimised.
