Mission Statement:
We aim to foster an environment where everyone feels safe and seen; a space where everyone is able to thrive emotionally and spiritually. 
We're therefore committed to implementing and periodically reviewing procedures that follow statutory and specialist safeguarding guidelines.

Our staff and volunteers are trained to work together to build an environment and culture that is safe; all team members working with children or vulnerable adults are DBS checked.

The purpose of our policy is to:

• Protect children, young people and vulnerable adults who attend or are served by Vineyard Church Isle of Man.
• Provide clear guidance to those working with children, young people or vulnerable adults (on behalf of the church) on how to behave and respond.
• Enable the Church to carry out its legal responsibilities in safeguarding under Isle of Man law.
• Provide a safe, caring environment where risks are minimised and where any suspicion of abuse or poor practice is responded to promptly and appropriately.

If you have a safeguarding concern please report it by completing the Safeguarding Form and emailing it to: safeguarding@vineyardchurch.im
