Safeguarding policy

Elim Christian Centre Swindon is committed to safeguarding children and adults in need of protection.

The Elim Christian Centre Swindon Leadership Team acknowledges that safeguarding the vulnerable in our church, activities and within the communities in which we work, both here and overseas, is of paramount importance and reflects the nature of Jesus Christ.

The Leadership have appointed a Safeguarding Coordinator and Deputy Safeguarding Coordinator(s) to respond to any safeguarding concern or suspicion of abuse. The Leadership fully supports them in their role of acting in the best interest of the child or adult and reporting to the statutory authorities all allegations or suspicions of abuse.
