Safeguarding Policy Statement
Safeguarding people is a core part of the URC’s mission.
We safeguard the integrity of creation, and we all walk the way together to ensure there is a sustained community of care where everyone – particularly the most vulnerable – find a place of love, pastoral care and support.
