Safeguarding at Bethel Church Northwich
Bethel Church Northwich is committed to the safeguarding of all children and adults.
We strongly believe that safeguarding and protecting all individuals is important, and we strive to create a culture where everyone feels safe, secure and valued.
​
We recognise that we all have a responsibility to help prevent harm or abuse to children and adults. Part of this responsibility is to protect others from harm and abuse in all its forms, and to report any abuse discovered or suspected.
We recognise that Children’s Social Services has lead responsibility for investigating all allegations or suspicions of abuse where there are concerns about a child. Adult Social Care has lead responsibility for investigating all allegations or suspicions of abuse where there are concerns about an adult with care and support needs.

If you have any safeguarding concerns or issues of a safeguarding matter, please contact either of our Safeguarding Leads: Melanie Plant at safeguarding@bethelchurch.co.uk or Lynda Hill at lhill@bethelchurch.co.uk.
