Safeguarding in Online Ministry

As we operate primarily online, we take reasonable steps to ensure:

Communication is respectful and appropriate
Prayer requests and personal disclosures are handled sensitively
Private information is not shared publicly without consent
No private messaging is conducted with children without parental knowledge

If contact is made by a child or vulnerable adult, leaders will act appropriately and, where necessary, involve safeguarding authorities.

Reporting Concerns

If anyone has a safeguarding concern regarding the ministry or its activities, they are encouraged to contact us directly via the Contact page. Where there is an immediate risk of harm, individuals should contact local emergency services.
