Safeguarding and safer recruitment

Safeguarding

The safeguarding policy for St Peter’s, Ruthin (under The Mission Area of Dyffryn Clwyd) is available here, in which we subscribe to the Diocese of St Asaph and Church in Wales policies that can be found here.

If you have any concerns, or else suspicions or knowledge of potential mistreatment, abuse, harassment or bullying, they must be responded to without delay.

All queries and concerns can be directed to hello@stpetersruthin.org where they’ll be dealt with by a member of our team.

If you would prefer to speak to someone outside of the St Peter’s team then the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor is Lacey Jones (07483 642526). For information on safeguarding within the diocese along with their team, please see the diocese safeguarding website here.

If you think that someone is at immediate risk of serious harm you must contact the police on 999. For non-urgent police enquiries use 101.

Safer Recruitment

All voluntary and paid roles within the life of the church community require an application form to be completed and two references to be taken up. All voluntary and paid positions working with children and vulnerable adults require a DBS-check to the appropriate level and ongoing safeguarding training to be completed for as long as being in position. The team leader will facilitate this process alongside the safeguarding team.
