Safeguarding
SAFEGUARDING AND YOUIt may be an overused phrase “Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility”, but it is very true.Many people are not sure what Safeguarding means
Please think again, Safeguarding is about promoting a safe environment and culture. Protecting and caring for children, young people, and vulnerable adults, including ourselves.It is important to BE AWARE
Perhaps you would like to visit that person in their home, it is good practice to follow some basic visiting guidelines to keep yourself and the person you are visiting safe.
If you have any safeguarding concerns, please pass them on to your Parish Safeguarding Officer and the MU Safeguarding contact. Record the facts that you have observed or been told. To assist you with this, Mothers’ Union produced a small trifold card which was included in the Autumn edition of “Connected”. It is reproduced below. I have spare copies of this card which can be given to new members. These can be downloaded here It is recommended that at least one member from every branch completes Safeguarding training, but we would be pleased if many more did this.
This training needs to be refreshed every 3 years. Safeguarding training is available on-line here If you find it difficult to access on-line training, please contact me, there may be provision of face to face training but this will be limited. If you have any questions about Safeguarding, I can be contacted by phone or email, details below. Sheila Sheila Walker sm59walker@gmail.com Tel: 01434 322369 MU Diocesan Safeguarding Contact |
