On behalf of myself and the Safeguarding team, may I offer my thanks on the submission of the Annual Returns.  As a ‘newbie’ to my role, I was overwhelmed at the Northern synod achieving 100% before the closing time.

Which only leaves me to say, thank you for the welcome I have received and for your dedication to the roles performed by each of you.

Northern Synod believes that children, young people and adults have a right to live in a way that does not cause them harm or impede their human rights. We therefore acknowledge their right to protection from abuse regardless of gender, ethnicity, disability, sexuality or beliefs. We consider that, in accordance with legislation, the welfare of children and adults at risk is paramount. We will follow legislation, statutory guidance and recognised good practice. We believe that domestic abuse in all its forms is unacceptable and inconsistent with a Christian way of living. Safeguarding is taken seriously by Northern Synod.
