SAFEGUARDING AT BHHC
What is Safeguarding?
There are many definitions of safeguarding, but we can describe it as the process which protects children and vulnerable adults and ensures their right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect.
​
At Brighton & Hove Hebrew Congregation we are responsible for ensuring that children and vulnerable adults are protected, and not exposed to harm or individuals who might cause them harm.
