If you have previously volunteered then the system remembers your details and auto-fills the sections for you. If you haven’t done it before why not give it a go? We have lots of roles we need to fill from children’s groups, craft, catering to registration. Last year we were unable to run a five-day event due to the lack of volunteers so please prayerfully consider how you could help.

Safeguarding
The Church of King Charles the Martyr, Potters Bar is committed to and will champion the protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults both in society as a whole and in our own community. We fully accept, endorse and will implement the principles enshrined in The Children Act 1989 that the welfare of the child is paramount. We will foster and encourage best practice within our community by setting standards for working with children, young people and vulnerable adults and by supporting parents in the care of their children. We will work with statutory bodies, voluntary agencies and other faith communities to promote the safety and well being of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We are committed to acting promptly whenever a concern is raised about a child or young person or vulnerable adult or about the behaviour of an adult, and will work with the appropriate statutory body when an investigation into child abuse or other abuse is necessary.
