Safeguarding

Keeping one another safe in the church

Why? Safeguarding as love

Jesus' command to love God and love one another is at the heart of the Christian faith. All our thinking, procedures and structures in keeping people safe are important because they flow from that core principle of love.

In a world with brokenness, hardship and difficulty, looking out for the safety and protection of others is not a small, side issue, but part of our obedience to God's vision for church and for our lives.

As a family of churches, we provide training and support on these themes regularly, and we are more than happy to talk through our Safeguarding principles and policies with anyone, if you have questions or comments. Use safeguarding@oikoschurch.co.uk and we'll get back to you.
