Within the Diocese of Leeds and the wider church, we acknowledge
that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and we all have
a part to play in keeping people safe.
The Diocese of Leeds is committed to safeguarding as an
integral part of the life and ministry of the Church. We affirm
the One Church approach to safeguarding children, young
people and adults, through the promotion of a sustained and
sustainable culture of constant vigilance.
The One Church approach refers to the commitment by the
Church in England and Wales to using the same policies,
procedures, standards and systems in relation to
safeguarding according to the CSSA.
The Church recognises the personal dignity and rights of
children, young people and adults who may be at risk towards
whom it has a special responsibility.
The Church and all individual members undertake all
appropriate steps to:
• maintain a safe environment for all.
• to practise fully and positively Christ’s Ministry towards
children, young people and adults.
• to respond sensitively and compassionately to their needs to
help keep them safe from harm.
