Welshpool Community Church is committed to creating a healthy church environment. We want everyone who comes into contact with us to feel safe, valued, and cared for. We believe that each person is made in the image of God, and as a result have an inherent dignity and worth.
We also recognise that we live in a sinful world, where human beings rebel against God and his ways for us, and harm one another in innumerable ways. We therefore recognise that within our church there is the opportunity for individuals or groups to harm, abuse, or exploit others.
We as a church stand against any misuse of power, abuse, harassment, exploitation or other forms of harm. We all have a responsibility to care for and protect each member of our church community, but particularly those who are weaker or more vulnerable.
To support this, we have implemented policies, procedures, codes of conduct and systems that support the positive culture that we seek to create by ensuring that those responsible for leading safeguarding in the church are competent and that our safeguarding arrangements are effective.
