Safeguarding

Safeguarding Statement

We take the safety, protection and wellbeing of everyone who visits Assynt, Rosehall and Scourie Church of Scotland very seriously and consequently we have appointed a Safeguarding Co-ordinator, Jackie Templeton, to manage this important area for us. All of the leaders of our youth activities have completed Church of Scotland safeguarding training and have full PVG disclosure. Additionally, everyone who works directly with young people and vulnerable groups have also completed training and have full PVG disclosure.

Church of Scotland Safeguarding Statement 2010

The Church of Scotland has a deep concern for the wholeness and well-being of each individual. Through its Congregations, working together with the Safeguarding Service and statutory agencies, the Church seeks to safeguard the welfare of all people who come into contact with the Church and its services.

The Gospel proclaims that it’s the responsibility of everyone within the fellowship of the Church to prevent harm, be it physical, sexual or emotional, and we will always seek to reduce risk.

The Church’s commitment to safeguarding reminds us that God cares passionately about the welfare and wellbeing of all people.
