Manage episode 492250862 series 3599127
Madison revisits key insights from the first five episodes of Faithful Safeguarding, highlighting how safeguarding within faith communities requires everyone's involvement, theological integration, clear boundaries, and inclusive practices that address power dynamics.
- Professor Jo Clarke establishes that safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, from church leaders to volunteers and cleaners
- Dr Marcus Pound shows how theological concepts like redemption and forgiveness can reshape safeguarding policies to be more compassionate and reflect scriptural teachings
- Father Justin Glynn challenges traditional views of disability and vulnerability, emphasising boundaries and belonging
- Di Gamage demonstrates how play and drama therapy empower children to communicate safeguarding concerns
- Anjum Mouj describes diversity, inclusion and belonging as "the holy trinity of safeguarding”, a crucial component of safeguarding. She goes on to discuss how power dynamics in hierarchical religious institutions often protect abusers rather than victims
Join us for part two where we'll explore criminal convictions, low-level concerns, abuse in faith communities, and the importance of volunteer engagement in safeguarding.
