The Safeguarding Group is responsible for:

• advising Church Council at the earliest time of any issues which require a decision to be made by the Council;
• making an annual report which includes details of any changes to be made to the Church Safeguarding Policy;
• ensuring that the list of people requiring up to date CRB and Methodist Safeguarding forms is reviewed on a regular basis;
• providing advice and assistance in the completion of CRB and Methodist Safeguarding Forms to new leaders, office and job holders;
• ensuring that the necessary training and supporting information is made available;
• ensuring that the Safeguarding information is regularly communicated to all of the Church family through weekly Notices, In Touch Magazine, and HMC Internet website.

The Safeguarding Group will comprise of:
