As part of the Baptist Union of Great Britain, Kay Street Baptist Church adheres to the guidelines of the Baptist Union's 'Safe to Grow' and 'Safe to Belong' policies. You can find out more about these at the Baptists Together website.

Safeguarding is the protection of adults and children from harm, abuse or neglect.

We all have the same rights and expectations to independence, respect, choice, fulfilment of our ambitions, to be heard, included, and to have privacy and confidentiality. These expectations are central to the way in which we interact with each other in our life together.

Safeguarding involves a range of activities aimed at promoting the individual’s fundamental right to be safe. These include making and maintaining safe environments for all, having processes to follow should something go wrong, and support for everyone involved.
