Mission Community

Safeguarding is at the centre of our faith, in our practice, in our worship, in our praying, and in our believing. In other words, safeguarding needs to become integral to the life of the Church rather than an appendage, with good safeguarding behaviours flowing naturally and intuitively. This requires recognition that safeguarding needs to move away from something that is in some respects external / imposed upon the Church, to something that flows from within the soul of the Church.

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation):s This is a law that protects your personal data. It ensures that organiations, like our church, handle your information (like your name or contact details) carefully and only use it in ways you’ve agreed to. You have the right to know how your data is used and to ask for it to be corrected or deleted if needed.

PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations): This law works alongside GDPR, but it focuses on how we communicate with you, especially through emails, texts, or phone calls. It ensures that you only receive messages from us if you’ve chosen to. You can also opt out anytime.
