The Methodist Church is committed to the safeguarding of children and young people during their engagement with church activities. Parent and carers need to know that all is in place to ensure that their children are protected, respected, and looked after well.

It’s important for those taking photos or recording videos to be completely up-to-date with safeguarding policies and to be familiar with the following guidance regarding photography and video.

We take great care recording, using and storing images of children and young people while they take part in church activities. The intended use of any images and arrangements for storage will be indicated on the consent form.
