As members of Salem, we commit ourselves to the safeguarding of all (children, young people and vulnerable adults)
It is the responsibility of each one of us to seek to prevent any abuse of anyone, and to report any abuse that is discovered
We recognise that our programmes of outreach and evangelism are an important part of Salem and we commit ourselves to pray regularly for all those directly involved
We recognise that this work is the responsibility of the whole church
We undertake to exercise proper care in the selection and appointment of those working in these areas, whether paid or volunteer
The church is committed to supporting resourcing and training those who carry out this work, and also to provide supervision
The church is committed to follow the relevant official guidance from the Home Office and also any relevant guidance from the Baptist Union of Great Britain
Each worker must know the guidance and undertake to observe and comply with the current procedures
Salem has appointed Ann Bailey and James Griffin as the Responsible Person (team of 2) to whom any specific concerns must be addressed
