Safeguarding means protecting people's health, wellbeing and human rights, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. As well as being a statutory duty, safeguarding arises from our commitments to spiritual growth, pastoral care, honesty and transparency in the life of our community.
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.
To support meetings with safeguarding, Quakers in Scotland provide:
- Comprehensive safeguarding guidance
- A draft policy for meetings to adopt
- Training materials that enable meetings to run a "Keeping our meetings safe" workshop
Please see Appointments for the Safeguarding officers.
