Our approach to safeguarding is rooted in, and is a practical outworking and expression of, our biblically based values and supports our gospel witness.
We take safeguarding seriously and work to operate in line with current practice.
We do this by ensuring that:
We provide a healthy, nurturing, and protective environment for our staff, volunteers, others who work on our behalf, beneficiaries, and anyone else who engages with Midlands Gospel Partnership and that they are protected from bullying, harassment, exploitation, and abuse.
If we identify abuse in the course of our ministry, it is handled effectively, promptly, and proportionately.
Our trustees, staff, and others who work on our behalf are clear about their safeguarding responsibilities and duties and are supported to fulfil them competently and confidently.
We support the development of an open and transparent culture that listens to the views and wishes of our member churches and those who engage directly with our charitable activities; supporting the raising of concerns and complaints and ensuring that they are handled biblically and in an open, carefully rigorous, transparent, and appropriately accountable manner.
We provide clarity about how we will respond to safeguarding issues and the limits of our authority and involvement.
