Children and young people are a valued part of Whitefriars. As
a church we believe they have much to give as well as to receive, and we encourage them to participate fully in the life of the church.
We consider it our responsibility to nurture them in the Christian faith.
- At Whitefriars Church we commit ourselves to the
nurturing, protection and safekeeping of children
and young people. Please see our 'Involving
Young People' Policy.
- It is the responsibility each one of us to prevent
the physical, sexual, and emotional abuse of children
and young people, and to report any abuse discovered
or suspected.
- The church is committed to supporting, resourcing
and training those who work with children and young
people and providing supervision.
- This church is committed to following the Home Office
Code of practice 'Safe From Harm' and guidelines
published by the Diocese of Peterborough.
- Each worker with children and young people must
know the recommendations, and undertake to observe
them. Each worker is given a copy of the agreed procedures
and the Good Practice Guidelines.
- As a Church we regularly pray for the leaders of
the our children's clubs, the children, and activities
for young people.
