All groups working with children using the Community Hall are required to have a Child Protection Policy (CPP) in place.
The Management Committee require written confirmation from these groups that it has a CPP and that it uses the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Disclosure Service.
Creating a Child Protection Policy
The Charity Commission website contains excellent information on Child Protection including how to go about creating, implementing and maintaining a Policy. Full details can be found on their website.
Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure Service
The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB), an Executive Agency of the Home Office, provides wider access to criminal record information through its Disclosure service. This service enables organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors to make safer recruitment decisions by identifying candidates who may be unsuitable for certain work, especially that involve children or vulnerable adults. The CRB was established under Part V of the Police Act 1997 and was launched in March 2002. More details on their website.

St Agnes Community Centre is managed by the Community Centre Management Committee - a collaboration between the parish of St Agnes Longsight and local residents. The project was initially funded by Manchester City Council.
