Upholding the Principle

This means your Religious Life Group should:

Stand against and have a clear approach to prevent abuse of trust and power including bullying, intimidation, harassment, discrimination or victimisation in all your activities.

Create a culture that supports the reporting and resolution of allegations, suspicions or concerns about abuse of any kind or inappropriate behaviour.

Ensure that anyone working or volunteering for you understands the expectations placed upon them, and you provide the relevant training to support them in meeting their responsibilities.

Ensure that anyone who works or volunteers in your Religious life Group has access to proper support and advice if they

•Experience or witness unacceptable behaviour

•Raise a concern or make an allegation about the actions of others

•Don’t feel safe
