The Church of Scotland has a deep concern for the wholeness and wellbeing of each individual. In St Machar’s, we seek to provide for all an environment which is warm, welcoming, and safe.  

It is everyone’s duty to prevent harm of any kind, and we work to reduce risk by ensuring that every volunteer and employee who have regular contact with children or other vulnerable groups, is vetted through the national Protection for Vulnerable Groups (PVG) process. This is managed on behalf of the Kirk Session by our Safeguarding Coordinator.  For more details of our policies and procedures, of if you have any safeguarding concerns which you would wish to discuss, contact the Coordinator, Jan McRobbie at safeguarding@stmachar.com or through the office. .
