Child Protection Policy

St James’ is committed to the welfare and well-being of children within its community. We regularly review and update our child protection policy and guidelines. All members of the St James’ community who work with children are required to complete a disclosure application to the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) to ensure that there is no reason to disbar them from being responsible for children. Groups who use our Church Hall facilities have to demonstrate that they have appropriate policies on child protection. Our Children’s Advocate can be contacted via: vicar@stjamesislington.org
