Safeguarding
—

Care for everyone.

As followers of Jesus we are keen to follow Him in sharing God’s love and care for everyone that comes into contact with us, particularly children and adults with additional care and support needs. We want to provide a safe environment in which people can thrive emotionally and spiritually. We want to do all we can to ensure their well-being, taking a responsibility to safeguard them from any form of abuse. We will properly record and report any abuse that we discover or suspect.

Staff and volunteers are trained and committed to working together to build an environment and culture that is safe. Appropriate checks with the Disclosure and Barring Service are made wherever appropriate. Every member of the Trent Kids’ and Youth teams has an enhanced disclosure check.

Ongoing Safeguarding Investigation concerning Mike Pilavachi of Soul Survivor

Many of you will be aware of the ongoing safeguarding investigation concerning Mike Pilavachi (the founder of Soul Survivor church and associated festivals). The situation has been reported in the national press and on social media and is causing deep sadness and concern not just within Soul Survivor, but across many churches like ours, who have been profoundly impacted by Soul Survivor and Mike’s ministry. We recognise the confusion, pain and upset that some may be carrying since hearing the news and as the situation develops. Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland, and DTI have both published statements about this unfolding situation.
