Welcome to the Interdenominational Safeguarding Panel Website
CLICK TO SEARCH THIS WEBSITE
The Interdenominational Protection Panel was established in 2001 and we changed our name to Interdenominational Safeguarding Panel in 2022.
The role of the Panel is to support and advise the Union of Welsh Independents, Baptist Union of Wales and Presbyterian Church of Wales "the three denominations" in relation to safeguarding practice in their work with children and young people and vulnerable adults including safeguarding training, casework and advice and policy and guidlines. The Panel Safeguarding Officer is the designated safeguarding officer for the three denominations noted below. As a registered body with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) the Panel is responsible for processing DBS checks for employees and volunteers within the three denominations.
The Panel is a not for profit company limited by guarantee since 2009 and directors are from the "the three denominations".
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
More specifically how is your church doing in regard to safeguarding vulnerable groups? Have you seen the new safer church -self assessment checklist?
This is just one of new resources that was part of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Handbook updates in 2022.
The checklist is Appendix 10 in Section 6 but you can also find your safeguarding policy statement, some important information for trustees and a new code of conduct for volunteers. Go to the Safeguarding Handbook page for more information
SAFEGUARDING TRAINING is a key part of our safeguarding toolkit: click the pictures for more information
