Safeguarding is an organisational priority for SWYM and a key part of our mission: we are dedicated to protecting the physical, emotional, spiritual, and digital well-being of everyone in our care, and to creating communities where all can thrive safely.

We are members of Thirtyone:eight (previously known as “CCPAS”), and ensure that all our staff, volunteers and trainees who work with children, young people, or vulnerable adults are thoroughly vetted. We also ensure that the churches/organisations we work with as Ministry Partners follow good practice.
