Safeguarding

Pioneer is a relational network that connects, inspires and equips churches in the UK and globally. As such, we carry no legal responsibility for local churches who are charities in their own right and each local church is responsible for their own effective safeguarding arrangements.
However, it is very important to us as a Network that our churches are communities where everyone flourishes and so we want to do all we can to promote best safeguarding practice and we therefore offer safeguarding resources and support to those in our network.

We do this by carrying out a safeguarding audit every 2 years for all member churches to ensure standards are continually up to date and they are appropriately following best practice wherever possible.

We also provide a range of free, accessible safeguarding training for many different aspects of church life and outreach.

Our safeguarding policy for Pioneer Trust is currently being updated, once complete, it will be available here.
