Safeguarding

We hold to the core Christian belief that each person has value and dignity which comes directly from God’s creation of humanity in His own likeness. Among other things, this implies a duty to value each person as someone who bears the image of God and is loved equally by God, and therefore should be protected from harm.

For more information and to view our Safeguarding Policy click here, or contact Emma Huxley RSCM Safeguarding Officer via email safeguarding@rscm.com or call 01722 424856.

If you need immediate help out of hours or when the Safeguarding Officer is not available please contact the local authority Out of Hours Service or if someone is at immediate risk ring 999. Please email or leave a message for the RSCM Safeguarding Officer if you do this.
