Free Church regards child protection and good working practice as a
priority. In the interests of the safety and well being of all children
and young people, it has developed and operates a formal child protection
policy, which is registered with the Churches' Child Protection Advisory
Service.
The church is
committed to ensuring that everyone working with children or young people:
* have undergone a Criminal Records Bureau check at enhanced level,
* are adequately trained and supervised,
* understand and follow the church's child protection policy.

As part of
this church's commitment to children and young people it has appointed

statutory authorities.
