Safeguarding 

SEBA are here to support you as you deliver safeguarding for your church.
 
We have an Association Safeguarding Lead, Jo Hayes, who is here to advise and support churches, and their Designated Person for Safeguarding (DPS) through setting up good practices, keeping them advised of changes to the law and their safeguarding responsibilities, managing offenders contracts and to support & advise when a safeguarding issue arises.
 
For queries on safeguarding training and DBS checks, please contact Association Administrator, Steph Tidy
 
The Baptist Union of Great Britain (Baptists Together) has put together a Model Safeguarding Policy and Procedure document (for churches), to help churches as they develop or review the safeguarding framework for their church – which can be found here.
