Our Values & Safeguarding
At The Alban Way, we believe in supporting one another throughout our time together. Safeguarding and participant safety are of key importance to us.
RISE Values
Respect
We listen, value difference and treat one another with kindness and grace as we learn to love our neighbours.
Inclusivity
We seek to be a community where everyone is welcomed, heard and able to belong, bringing their whole selves before God. Making space for each story, perspective and personality to flourish.
Safe
We create a culture of trust where people can be honest, vulnerable, ask questions and grow together.
Everyone Grows
Discipleship is a journey. We encourage one another to grow in faith, character, spiritual gifts and calling, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us.
Safeguarding
The Diocese of St Albans is committed to creating a warm, welcoming and safe environment for everyone who comes to our churches and communities, with particular care for children and adults who may be vulnerable.
Throughout The Alban Way, we are committed to ensuring that every participant feels safe, valued, respected and fully included. We seek to create spaces where people can grow in faith, ask questions, build meaningful relationships and encounter God, knowing that their wellbeing is a priority. Where additional support or guidance is needed, we will seek to provide this wherever possible.
The Alban Way follows the national safeguarding policies and procedures of the Church of England and the Diocese of St Albans.
