Safety
We want to provide a nurturing and safe space for the children to thrive. As a community choir group we take the safeguarding of children seriously. Our Choir Leaders, Choir Assistant and Choir Administrator are all DBS Checked and have undergone the required safeguarding training for their roles within this organisation. Parents and carers are welcome and encouraged to be in the church while the rehearsal is in session.
