Roles in Safeguarding
Key Responsibilities for Creating a Safer Church Community
Effective safeguarding relies on clearly defined roles and responsibilities. At the South England Conference (SEC), Designated Safeguarding Persons (DSPs), Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Clerks, and church leaders work together to ensure the safety and well-being of all members, particularly children and vulnerable adults. Each role plays a crucial part in fostering a culture of care, vigilance, and accountability.

We also have a dedicated inbox for concerns, feedback, and advice that is answered by the Safeguarding Lead and the Executive Secretary. Emails sent to safe@secadventist.org.uk are received by the Safeguarding Lead and the Executive Secretary.
Every church within the Conference has a Designated Safeguarding Person (DSP) to assist with local safeguarding matters. For specific support, you can contact the local church’s DSP directly.
