For parents
Handing your child to someone new takes trust. Every leader is Access NI checked and safeguarding trained, and every group always has at least two leaders.
If your child has additional needs or allergies, let us know when you register. Take a look at SEN Sundays too.
Keeping kids safe
Every child's safety is our top priority. Read our safeguarding policy, or chat to our safeguarding lead on any Sunday.
