Safeguarding Policy Statement
The Swindon Branch of the Gloucester & Bristol Association of Church Bell Ringers is committed to the safeguarding of children under 18 and, where appropriate, vulnerable adults. We have a responsibility to prevent the physical, sexual, psychological, financial or discriminatory abuse or neglect of such children or vulnerable adults. Therefore, the Swindon Branch undertakes to exercise due diligence in the appointment and selection of those who work closely with children or vulnerable adults, and intend to follow any guidelines issued by the church authorities and meet such civil legal requirements as may be in force.
