We want
everyone
to feel safe.
At King's Arms Church we take the safeguarding of our children, young people and adults very seriously.
Safeguarding is overseen by one of our trustees, Sandra Mangwiza, alongside Tim Brown who is our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL). Our whole staff team is trained in safeguarding. Team leaders overseeing vulnerable groups (such as children and youth) have undergone thorough safeguarding training and DBS checks and have been given safeguarding responsibility at all of our Sunday meetings.
Policy Statement on Safeguarding
All of our Youth and Kids staff and volunteers are DBS checked and have references. If you have any questions about our policy, please email tim.brown@safeguarding.org
Report a concern
If you have any concerns, no matter how big or small, please email our team at safeguarding@kingsarms.org
