Looking after the youngest members of Cornerstone
Our Five Circles of Care
The circles of care represent the different measures
we take to care for the youngest members of our
community. These measures are explained in detail
in our Child Protection Policy.
Our policy takes account of our legal obligation as an
organisation to safeguard young people and delivers
the policy through a range of common sense measures.
The five circles of care:
1. PVG Membership
All staff/leaders have background checks carried out and become members of the PVG Scheme (Protection of Vulnerable Groups Act 2007)
2. Risk Assessment
Reasonable measures are taken to look after the general health & safety of young people in our care through Risk Assessment exercises for each venue where activities take place.
3. Guidelines
All staff/leaders agree to carry out their duties in line with guidelines that are tailored to their role.
4. Training
All staff/leaders are provided with ongoing training appropriate to their role.
5. Supervision
All staff/leaders are provided with ongoing support and supervision through a designated supervisor.
Concerns or Questions?
The main contact person for reporting or querying child protection matters is the Safeguarding Coordinator*. In their absence, matters should be brought to any Pastoral Staff Assistant, Senior Pastor or a Senior Children's Work Leader, who will in turn bring the matter to the attention of the Safeguarding Coordinator at the earliest opportunity.
If a person is for any reason uncomfortable directly approaching the Safeguarding Coordinator then they are welcome to take their concern to any Pastoral Staff Assistant or the Senior Pastor.
