- Encouraging and supporting parents/carers
- Ensuring that children’s/youth workers are given support and training
- Having a system for dealing with concerns about possible abuse
- Maintaining good links with the statutory child care authorities
- Ensuring that the Church has clearly defined procedures to protect against wrongful allegations of abuse
