Children

Child Protection

King’s Church Uckfield takes seriously the responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of children and young people entrusted to its care, and has a robust Child Protection Policy which is approved by East Sussex County Council.

We have detailed guidelines and procedures relating to child abuse suspicions or allegations and ensure that these procedures are known and followed by all workers.

All those volunteering to work with children and young people are subject to a stringent application and induction process including Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure, references, declaration of conviction, interview and supervised probationary period.

We have an annual subscription to CCPAS and regularly receive updates from them to aid our practice.

We will meet the requirements of the Independent Safeguarding Authority as they come in over the coming five years.
