Trustees and Safeguarding

The seven Trustees include the Chairperson, the Treasurer, the Secretary, a senior leader from Trinity All Saints School and 3 further members who are drawn from churches and community groups across the Bingley area.

The Board of Trustees meet at least quarterly to discuss finance, funding, campaigns, services, events, partnership working, membership and strategy. Reports are reviewed at each meeting.

Safeguarding

The Trustees take the responsibility for safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults very seriously. Everyone has a right to be treated with respect and dignity. Everyone has a right to feel and be safe. All trustees and volunteers have an enhanced DBS check.

Trustees and volunteers know that safeguarding is…

  • everyone’s business
  • ensuring the safety of customers and each other
  • about listening carefully to the customers and each other
  • noticing when someone is at risk of harm
  • knowing the signs of abuse
  • supporting someone in need but not asking leading questions
  • maintaining confidentiality at all times
  • only sharing a concern with the BCK Safeguarding Officer
