Safeguarding
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility
As part of The Methodist Church in Britain, Lindley Methodist Church is committed to safeguarding as an integral part of its life and ministry.
Safeguarding is about the action the Church takes to promote a safer culture.
This means we will:
Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse affects large numbers of people both inside and outside the church, and children as well as adults.
The Methodist Church holds that domestic abuse in all its forms is unacceptable and incompatible with the Christian faith and a Christian way of living. It is committed to being a safer space for all. This means ensuring that members of the Methodist Church have an awareness and understanding of domestic abuse; and know how to respond appropriately and effectively.
When victims and survivors disclose abuse, they can expect to be listened to, taken seriously, supported and referred to local professional services, as appropriate.
