Our Commitment to Safeguarding
The Joint Council of the Bridge Benefice, Coventry, as part of the Church of England within the Diocese of Coventry, are committed to safeguarding as an integral part of the life and ministry of its churches. Safeguarding means the action the benefice takes to promote a safer culture.
This means we will promote the welfare of children, young people and adults, work to prevent abuse from occurring, seek to protect those that are at risk of being abused and respond well to those that have been abused.
We will take care to identify where a person may present a risk to others, and offer support to them whilst taking steps to mitigate such risks.
Everyone associated with churches of The Bridge, who comes into contact with children, young people and adults, has a role to play in safeguarding.
The Bridge will take appropriate steps to maintain a safer environment for all and to practice fully and positively Christ's Ministry towards children, young people and adults; to respond sensitively and compassionately to their needs in order to help keep them safe from harm.
