Safeguarding

Ministry to children, young people and vulnerable adults is a cherished and important part of the work of the Scottish Episcopal Church. Every week, substantial numbers of vulnerable people visit church premises for worship or for social and recreational activities. Much of the Church’s ministry to them is only possible because of the dedication of volunteers who place their time and talents at the service of God’s people.

The Diocesan Child & Vulnerable Adults Protection Officer maintains records of compliance throughout the Diocese, advises charges on the requirements, and liaises with the Provincial Protection of Vulnerable Groups Officer.
