Policies 

These policies have been agreed by the PCC and apply to members of the parish.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding refers to the collection of measures that ensure children, young people, and vulnerable adults are protected from abuse, harm and neglect. As a church community each year we commit ourselves anew to our Safeguarding Policy.

Privacy

Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Religious data is deemed to be sensitive data by the General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"). As all the data we hold can be seen to be indicative of religious belief, even when this data is not actually stored, we treat all the data we hold as though it were sensitive.

Safer recruitment

The Parochial Church Council undertakes to take all reasonable steps to prevent those who might harm children or adults from taking up in our Churches, positions of respect, responsibility or authority, where they are trusted by others.

Recruitment of ex-offenders

By adopting this policy the Parochial Church Council undertakes not to discriminate unfairly against any subject of a criminal record check on the basis of a conviction or other information revealed.
