Safeguarding at FBC

Safeguarding matters because people matter.

At FBC, we want to be a place where everyone — children, young people and adults — can feel safe, valued, supported and cared for.

Safeguarding isn't simply about policies, procedures or completing training. It is part of our culture and part of how we love people well. It means each of us playing our part in creating a community where people can belong, flourish and encounter Jesus safely.

We are incredibly grateful for the way the FBC family takes this responsibility seriously. Every person who serves, completes their training, follows our safeguarding practices or speaks up when something doesn't feel right is helping to make FBC a safer place.

Together, we:
Protect those who may be vulnerable.
Create safe spaces where people can belong and flourish.
Notice when something doesn't seem right.
Speak up when we have a concern.
Care for one another with wisdom, respect and love.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility — and together we help make FBC a place of safety, love and respect for all.
