1st July 2026
Andy Paterson is our safeguarding lead on the MG and is working on improving the visibility that safeguarding has across ECC. We had a lively and informative workshop at High Close in March and he drafted a guideline document and a code of behaviour. There was another workshop at Kench Hill in May to take it further. Amended documents are now available for consultation.
The safeguarding consultation document is available in the filestore:
https://www.edwardcarpentercommunity.org.uk/members/files
It contains the proposed document, a code of behaviour for attendees, ways to record incidents and contact details for safeguarding leads.
Note the document is only available to ECC members.
Would members please read through the document, and if you have any feedback, there is a Google form here https://forms.gle/AN3kYJ58toSQpiTq7 which will be open until 23:59 on 31st August.
There will be 3 zoom sessions using the ECC zoom account. These can be used to give individual feedback or to discuss any concerns directly with Andy.

Feedback received will be incorporated into the final document sent to the Autumn Gathering in November which will then be published on the website.
