Greenbank Church
Child Protection
The Church of Scotland has a long and distinguished history of caring, education and outreach to children and young people. For the most part, this work is carried out by adult volunteers who give of their time and expertise to relate to the young in Sunday Schools, children's clubs, youth groups and uniformed organisations. Some individuals in our society represent a threat to children and we recognise that this responsibility is greater than before. At Greenbank we have adopted and implemented the Policy Statement and Code of Good Practice approved by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. They are designed to make the Church an even safer place for children and young people.
"It is the responsibility of each individual within the fellowship of the Church to prevent the physical, sexual or emotional abuse of children and young people."
From Policy Statement of General assembly - May 1997
The Church of Scotland has information and consent forms for use within Church organisations.
A general information and consent form should be completed for each child attending any of our organisations, giving contact details in the event of an emergency and necessary medical information.
In addition, forms should be completed if any children are being taken to events outwith Greenbank, eg day trips to exhibitions or activities and for weekend (or longer) camps and residential holidays etc.
If you need supplies of the forms, please phone the Church office (644 1841) with the number you require.
