Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults

Our Commitment

At Hollybank Community Church, we believe that every child and adult has the right to be protected from harm, abuse, and neglect. We are committed to safeguarding children, young people, and adults at risk across all of our services, activities, and community outreach programmes.

Key Procedures

• All leaders, workers, and volunteers working with children or vulnerable adults undergo enhanced DBS checks.
• Regular, mandatory safeguarding training is provided for all ministry leaders and volunteers.
• Safe recruitment procedures are strictly observed for all paid and voluntary appointments.
• A clear reporting procedure is in place for raising, recording, and escalating any safeguarding concern.
