Safeguarding
As a charitable landlord to retired Methodist Ministers of limited means, MMHS takes seriously the Charity Commission expectation that we ‘must take reasonable steps to protect from harm people who come into contact with [our] charity’.
We will follow the Charity Commission Guidelines relating to Safeguarding which include:
- Ensuring people know how to raise a safeguarding concern;
- Ensuring that we have an adequate Safeguarding Policy (‘Policy’), Code of Conduct and safeguarding procedures in place;
- Regularly reviewing and updating the Policy and procedures to ensure they are fit for purpose;
- Identifying possible risks including risks to our beneficiaries or to anyone else connected to our charity;
- Ensuring that everyone involved with MMHS knows how to recognise, respond to, report and record a safeguarding concern; and
- Appointing a Designated Safeguarding Lead.
