Creating and promoting a safe environment for all

We aim to create and promote a safe environment for all. We believe that next to proclaiming God's Word and the love of Christ, nothing could be more important than keeping our children and young people safe.

​

We also want our volunteers to be a “listening ear” for any young people who may be worried about anything in their life and need someone to turn to. Gilnahirk Presbyterian Church operates under the PCI Safeguarding guidelines. As part of safe recruitment procedures, we will ensure that appropriate vetting is carried out and that all volunteers attend appropriate training. The church has clear guidelines on how adults and young people should behave through their codes of conduct and how to respond to a concern through its reporting procedures. 

If, as a parent, volunteer or young person, you have any concerns or want more information, please contact the designated officers through the church office at Gilnahirk Church.
