The National Safeguarding<\/a>\u00a0Team (NST) of the Church of England has produced its first set of national safeguarding standards, which are to be applied in dioceses, parishes, and churches, with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

The\u00a022-page document<\/a>, incorporating a quality-assurance framework, was published on Tuesday morning. Its author is Dr Samuel Nunney of Cardiff University, who is the Church\u2019s Research and Evaluation Lead for Bishoprics and Cathedrals.<\/p>\n

Published on the C of E website, the standards have been developed over three years, \u201cin consultation with a wide range of stakeholders including victims and survivors\u201d, the website says. The new standards do not replace, but \u201cbuild on\u201d existing policies and procedures, including the statement \u201cPromoting a Safer Church\u201d. This was originally published in 2006, concerning vulnerable adults only, but was significantly revised in 2017 to its current form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
