Safeguarding Policy

Love Southampton is an initiative of a broad range of churches in Southampton – a diverse community of people united in our love for God and our love for our neighbour. During the current Coronavirus outbreak we are focused on supporting those most in need of help. Many of those individuals are adults at risk or children.

Love Southampton and each of our partners care deeply about safeguarding those we are seeking to support. We recognize that safeguarding mistakes can be immensely costly for everyone involved. We care about everyone in Southampton and recognize each person’s value and dignity. We believe that God is a refuge and a protector and we want to reflect him in our care for others.

Above Bar Church is overseeing the Safeguarding practices of Love Southampton during the Coronavirus crisis. Love Southampton’s activities will comply with the Above Bar Church Safeguarding Policy.

We are committed to conducting our operations with integrity and honesty and we expect all our volunteers to maintain high standards in accordance with our policies and procedures. If you are concerned about malpractice or breach of legal requirement, please follow the instructions in our whistle blowing policy, which you can download here.
