Antioch

Safeguarding Statement

​

The Antioch Community is committed to creating a healthy community environment and culture. We want everyone who comes into contact with us to feel safe, valued, and cared for. We believe that each person is made in the image of God, and as a result have an inherent dignity and worth. Members of the community are committed to caring for one another in Christian love and this forms part of the Antioch Covenant of Membership.

As a Christian Community, we are committed to safeguarding everyone who participates in community life, regarding care for the vulnerable as a biblical imperative and not just as a legal requirement. We work with local and national partners, doing all we can to keep everyone safe. We will strive to fulfil all our legal duties to protect both children and adults at risk of abuse, but we aim to go above and beyond and to discharge our safeguarding duties in a way that is biblically faithful and pleasing to our loving heavenly Father, who calls us to act with justice, love kindness and to walk humbly before him.
