Safeguarding at Christ Church Dunstable

Christ Church Dunstable (CCD) is a community of all ages and backgrounds, united in our love for the Lord Jesus and each other. We therefore, take seriously our responsibility to protect, serve and safeguard our church family. This includes children, young people and vulnerable adults. We aim to do this in a way that reflects God’s love and honours the name of our Lord Jesus.

We strive to achieve best practice standards and to deal effectively and transparently with any allegation of abuse or exploitation that comes to light. We welcome feedback as we do this.
If you have any safeguarding concerns please speak to Evelyn Sharpe, Designated Safeguard Lead (DSL) or Beth Newton, Deputy DSL.
For all other concerns please speak to our Pastors and/or Elders.
