Safeguarding is the responsibility of everyone within the life of the Methodist Church.
The Exeter Coast and Country Methodist Circuit is committed to safeguarding as an integral part of its life and ministry. Safeguarding is about the action the Church takes to promote a safer culture. This means we will: promote the welfare of children, young people and adults; work to prevent abuse from occurring; and seek to protect and respond well to those that have been abused.

They would be interested to talk to anyone who has concerns about any matter within our churches and Circuit.
