Policy Statement

 

Scripture Union Ministries Trust is a movement made up of volunteers and paid staff. We believe that all human beings are of equal worth in the sight of God and aim to follow Biblical principles in all that we do.

 

Therefore:

• We commit ourselves to the nurture, protection, and safekeeping of all, especially children, young people and adult at risk.
• It is the responsibility of each one of us to protect children, young people and adults at risk from physical, sexual and emotional abuse, and to report any abuse suspected or discovered.
• In order to achieve this, we are committed to supporting, resourcing and training those who work with children, young people and adults at risk. We will provide appropriate supervision and recognise mutual accountability.

Scripture Union Ministries Trust has adopted the above principles; all volunteers and staff are presented with a copy and expected to follow the procedures and guidelines.
