Leading your Church into Growth (LyCiG) is committed to providing a healthy, nurturing and protective environment for everyone who engages with our community, attends our conferences or uses our resources.

Leading your Church into Growth treats all concerns and complaints seriously and will deal with them in an efficient and timely manner, and with appropriate confidentiality.

Every person has value and dignity which comes directly from being created in God’s image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s re-creation of us in Christ. Among other things, this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm. The church of which we are a part is not a gathering of sinless and perfect people, but rather a community of grace where we seek to encourage one another to grow in faith and obedience to God. 

We are committed to:

• The care, nurture of, and respectful pastoral ministry with, all children and adults
• The safeguarding and protection of all children, young people and adults when they are vulnerable
• Establishing a safe environment where there is a culture of ‘informed vigilance’ as to the dangers of abuse.
• Behaviour contrary to our policies and procedures must not be tolerated but dealt with decisively, effectively and transparently
