Safeguarding at Grace City Church
We want everyone at Grace City Church to thrive in a safe environment, whether they are taking part in the activities we organise, benefiting from the services we provide or just visiting one of our events.
By implementing our Safeguarding Policy and Procedures, vetting and training our staff and volunteers and raising awareness across the Grace City community, we are working proactively to create a culture that helps to protect children and adults at risk of abuse and exploitation.
As a subsidiary of Christ Church Birmingham, we are registered with Thirtyone:eight, a specialist umbrella organisation that provides safeguarding advice and guidance to churches and Christian organisations. This gives us access to support and training and ensures that our policies and procedures remain top to date and reflect best sector practices.
If you would like a copy of our Safeguarding Policy and Procedures or want to know more about safeguarding at Grace City or if you are concerned about the welfare of a child or adult at risk and want to discuss this further, please contact our designated safeguarding lead, Steve Wicking.
