The welfare and safety of all children and young people is very important to us at Strean Presbyterian Church. It is our policy to safeguard all children and young people attending any of our activities, which includes actively protecting children from all forms of harm or abuse. You can download Strean’s Safeguarding Children Policy here.

​

Before starting in our youth ministries, every leader and helper must be issued with an Enhanced Clearance certificate from Access NI and attend Safeguarding Children Training, which is provided by the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. The Access NI check and Safeguarding Children Training are renewed every 3 years.

​

As part of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, we have formally adopted the Safeguarding Policies produced by the Safeguarding Office.

​

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of care and accountability in all areas of church life. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and we work together to make sure that our church remains a safe and welcoming environment for all.
