Although we’ve had to put all our in-person gatherings meetings on hold, we are still keen to meet, stay connected, learn more about Jesus and have fun together and we'd like to use virtual meetings to do this but need to be sure you are clear on how this will work,what we will do and what we need you to do to keep your child safe online.
Our monthly gatherings will be held on the second Sunday of the month, 10-10:30 am on Zoom and you will be emailed the Zoom link in advance of the meeting. There may also be some one off online meet-ups and we will inform you of them in advance. We’ll also be putting together activity bags every month with a little collection of fun stuff to read and do at home connected with the theme of our monthly sessions, if you’d like an activity bag make sure you fill in your address on the form below and we’ll drop one round for you!
Before you complete the registration form below, we ask that you read through the following safeguarding policy
In order to make sure your child stays safe we ask that you do the following:
Access to the platform is made through the parent/carers account, unless your child meets the age restrictions for the platform.
An appropriate adult, like a parent or carer will remain in the room during video or conference calls to help or join in - we want this to be something for the whole family to enjoy together.
You will ‘drop off’ your child at the meeting like you would on a Sunday, so we know that they have an appropriate adult nearby if they need a hand. This will also give us a chance to talk with you if we need to.
Where possible your child must take part in the video call in a suitable communal environment. All members of the household must be aware that the call is taking place and make sure they use appropriate language and behaviour when nearby or in the background.
Your child should be fully dressed in clothing that covers top and bottom half of the body.
You will make sure your child has ‘logged off’ the call correctly and signed out before turning off any devices.
You and your child will not try to contact any leaders using these online tools outside of the pre-arranged calls. If you need to contact a leader for any reason you can email us
In order to protect your child we will:
Have a minimum of two adults volunteers present throughout the video call who will stay on the call until all the children have ‘logged off’.
At least one adult volunteer involved in the call will hold a current DBS certificate as required for their role. Any adult volunteer holding a role that does not require a disclosure check will always be supervised by someone with a disclosure check.
No leader will contact you outside of any pre-arranged meetings using these online tools and if they do need to contact you will do so following their normal contact procedures (email or WhatsApp).
Leaders will watch through and check any links or videos they may direct your child to. They will make sure everything they use is age-appropriate.
Leaders and other adults on the call will use appropriate language/behaviour throughout the call.
All leaders will ensure they are in a communal living space throughout the call and any members of their household will use appropriate language/behaviour throughout the call.
