Safeguarding

Causeway Coast Vineyard is committed to safeguarding and caring for every person within our community, especially children and adults-at-risk. As followers of Jesus, we seek to reflect His love and compassion in all that we do, creating a safe and welcoming environment where people can flourish emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.

We recognise our responsibility to protect those in our care from harm, neglect, or abuse of any kind, and we are committed to responding appropriately to any concerns or suspicions that arise. All safeguarding concerns will be properly recorded and reported in line with safeguarding policies.

Our staff and volunteers are trained and committed to working together to build and maintain a culture of safety and care. Appropriate checks are carried out through Access NI as appropriate and in line with our Safeguarding policies.
