All seven churches within the Hermitage Team Ministry play a vital role in the lives of many children, young people and adults.
Because of this, our churches have people who contribute within our places of worship, events and groups and they each have a role to play in keeping people safe. They have a duty to respond effectively and compassionately when someone comes forward to share any concerns or issues.
They have a duty of care to follow through with anything disclosed to them to the appropriate person and each person linked to children, young people. adults and vulnerable people have received Diocesan Safeguarding Training on many levels that assist them with this.
