The church operates a policy
of child protection called "Safe to Grow" following the Churches' Child
Protection Advisory Service guide lines and those of the Baptist Union. There are three
trained "advocates" who make themselves available to children and adults to
ensure, so far as possible, that the church youth work adheres to "best
practice" principles in a positive way.
