Safeguarding

Creating and promoting a safe environment for all

We aim to create and promote a safe environment for all. We believe that next to proclaiming God's Word and the love of Christ, nothing could be more important than keeping our children and young people safe.

At CPC, we also want to look after the safeguarding needs of Adults who may be at Risk and those who are classified as Vulnerable Adults

Carryduff Presbyterian Church will implement PCI’s Safeguarding guidelines by ensuring that all volunteers are vetted through AccessNI as part of safe recruitment procedures and that all volunteers have the opportunity to attend applicable PCI training. The church has clear guidelines on how adults and young people should behave through their Codes of Conduct and how to respond to a concern through its reporting procedures. 

If as a parent, volunteer or young person you have any concerns or want more information please contact our Designated Person for Safeguarding at CPC:

Mrs Heather Montgomery email: safeguarding@carryduffpresbyterian.uk
