Safeguarding

Along with the rest of the Methodist Church, the High Wycombe Circuit takes seriously its responsibilities for the care and nurture of all children, young people and adults.

This is summarised in the Statement of Safeguarding Principles

We also have model policies for the Circuit and Churches. There are two recently published model policies which can be downloaded here:
Model Circuit Policy
Model Church Policy
High Wycombe Circuit Policy (Draft for approval)
