Child & Adult Safeguarding

We believe it is extremely important to keep safe those who attend our services and activities - especially children & young people, and adults who may be vulnerable for any reason.  Our aim is to create and promote a safe environment for all. 

 

The Presbyterian Church in Ireland (PCI) website contains excellent Safeguarding materials, which advise and resource local congregations.  This includes forms, policies, procedures, guidance, and access to Safeguarding training.  Full details can be found by CLICKING HERE.
