Safeguarding
SAFEGUARDING
Mission Statement
The Church Leadership recognises the importance of its ministry to children and young people and its responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of children and young people entrusted to the church’s care.
As part of its mission, the Church is committed to:
Church Policy
The Church Leadership recognises the need to provide a safe and caring environment for children, young people and vulnerable people of all ages. It also acknowledges that these people groups can be the victims of various forms of abuse, and neglect. The Church Leadership has therefore adopted the procedures set out in the Safeguarding Policy. It also recognises the need to build constructive links with statutory and voluntary agencies. The policy and practice guidelines are based on a model published by Thirtyone:eight (formerly Churches’ Child Protection Advisory Service, CCPAS). The Church Leadership undertakes to file a copy of the policy and practice guidelines with Thirtyone:eight and social services, and any amendments subsequently published. The Church Leadership agrees not to allow the document to be copied by other organisations. The Church Leadership is committed to on-going Safeguarding training for all children/youth workers and will regularly review the operational guidelines attached. The Church Leadership also undertakes to follow the principles found within the Abuse Of Trust guidance issued by the Home Office and it is therefore unacceptable for those in a position of authority or trust to engage in any behaviour which might allow a non-platonic relationship to develop for as long as the position of authority or trust continues.
Our Deputy Safeguarding Officers are Tim Quayle and Niyi Kehinde. If you have any queries regarding the safeguarding of children or vulnerable adults, please chat to one of them.

Giving in Revive City Church Carlisle
GIVING AT REVIVE CITY CHURCH CARLISLE (formerly King's Church Carlisle)
As disciples of Jesus we recognise He always spoke to the heart and exposed the emptiness of external religion. Paul expressed this clearly when writing to the Corinthian Church: “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:6-7)
Cheerfulness in giving comes out of seeing our heavenly Father as the source of all our provision. Our giving is both a responsibility and a means of blessing others. Alongside our responsibilities to our family we have responsibility to the support the life and work of our church family. At Revive City Church Carlisle we do not believe that as Christians the giving of one tenth of our income is obligatory – rather the way we listen to his Spirit and give from a generous heart is the delight of our Father.
