Our Policies
Safeguarding Policy
At Bridge Chapel, we are committed to safeguarding the well-being of every individual, especially children, young people, and vulnerable adults. We believe that creating a safe and caring environment is central to our mission as a church.
Our safeguarding policy outlines the procedures we follow to protect people from harm, respond to concerns, and ensure that all our volunteers and staff are appropriately trained and supported.
We regularly review our practices to maintain the highest standards.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Safeguarding Team, Lynn McNaught, or Ian MacMichael on safeguarding@bridgechapel.co.uk
