Safeguarding
At Hope Church South Bedfordshire we are committed to the safeguarding of children and adults with care and support needs and ensuring their well-being. We recognise that we all have a responsibility to help prevent harm or abuse to children and adults with care and support needs in all their recognised forms.
​
​​​
Safeguarding is overseen by Laura Sproson, who is our safeguarding coordinator, alongside Claire Friend, who is our deputy safeguarding coordinator. All our volunteers working with vulnerable groups (such as children and young people) have undergone thorough safeguarding training and DBS checks.​​​
