The Elders & Trustees of Jubilee Church Derby acknowledge that safeguarding the vulnerable is of paramount importance and reflects the nature of Jesus Christ. We all have a responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults; even if we don’t have a specific safeguarding role.

We want everyone, especially children, young people and vulnerable adults to feel welcomed and safe at Jubilee.

The trustees have approved the following Safeguarding Policy to help with this which you can download: here.

As a church we are committed to:

• Promoting a safer environment and culture.
• Safely recruiting and supporting all those with any responsibility related to children, young people and vulnerable adults within the church.
• Responding promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation.
• Caring pastorally for victims/survivors of abuse and other affected persons.
• Caring pastorally for those who are the subject of concerns or allegations of abuse and other affected persons.
• Responding to those that may pose a present risk to others.

All concerns raised will be treated in an appropriate manner. Should you wish to raise a concern please contact one of our Safeguarding Coordinators directly (see policy) or our safeguarding team: safeguarding@jubilee.org.uk or 01332 322655.

If you would prefer to speak with someone outside the church please contact the Thirtyone:eight Helpline: 0303 003 11 11
Jubilee is a member of Thirtyone:eight - an independent Christian charity which helps organisations protect vulnerable people from abuse. Their helpline will be able to give you advice on what to do next.

If you have concerns about a child, young person or vulnerable adult, please make contact with your local social services team or in an emergency (where a child is in immediate risk), contact the police.
