Model Safeguarding Policy and Procedures
This guide to safeguarding policy, procedures and best practice has been put together by the Baptist Union of Great Britain to offer a template and a set of helpful guidance notes for churches as they develop or review the safeguarding framework for their church. It is divided into four sections:
1)
Safeguarding Policy Statement
– this is a template policy that you can use as a starting point for your own church’s policy
2)
Safeguarding Procedures
– these sections provide a clear outline of the reporting procedures needed in every local Baptist church
3)
Best Practice Guidelines
– these guidelines provide detailed information on key areas of safeguarding in the life of a Baptist church
4)
