MISSION STATEMENT

St. Paul’s recognises the importance of ministry to children and young people and its responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of children and young people entrusted to it.

·         Valuing, listening to and respecting children and young people as well as promoting their welfare and protection.

·         Safe recruitment, supervision and training for all who come into contact with children and young people.

·         Adopting a procedure for dealing with concerns about possible abuse.

·         Encouraging and supporting parents/carers.

·         Supporting those affected by abuse.
