Safeguarding

The leadership of Vineyard 53 recognise the need to provide a safe and caring environment for all children, young people and vulnerable adults we have contact with. We acknowledge that children, young people and vulnerable adults can be the victims of physical, sexual, emotional abuse or spiritual abuse, bullying and neglect. We therefore take seriously our commitment to safeguarding in all areas and are committed to building constructive links with statutory and voluntary agencies involved in safeguarding.

If you want to discuss a safeguarding matter, or ask to see Vineyard 53’s safeguarding policies, contact Tracey Guthrie (Safeguarding Coordinator) or Laura Hendry (Deputy Safeguarding Coordinator).

If you want to discuss a safeguarding matter with the designated safeguarding trustee, email trustees@vineyard53.org.

We are members of 31:8, an independent Christian charity that helps individuals, organisations, charities, faith and community groups to protect vulnerable people from abuse. If you are concerned about a person or situation, recent or non-recent, contact their helpline: 0303 003 1111.
