SAFEGUARDING IN ORWELL AND PORTMOAK CHURCH

As a congregation, we have a duty to ensure a safe church for all and to minimise the risk of harm. All volunteers carrying out regulated work with children, young people and/or protected adults follow the Church of Scotland safe recruitment process and are members of the PVG scheme through Disclosure Scotland.

If you have any Safeguarding concerns, please contact our Safeguarding Coordinator:

Cara Chalmers, via the church office

If the Safeguarding Coordinator is unavailable, there is also the support of the Safeguarding Panel, details of which can also be obtained in the church office or on notices in all our church buildings.
