Information technology and social media have an increasingly significant part to play in GBM life.
Within GBM there is a large number of ‘workers’ – some are staff employed by the charity, but most are volunteers working within local settings. In all cases GBM will endeavour to safeguard the children and young people with whom it works by following carefully laid down procedures for their appointment. Once appointed, both employees and volunteers will be given appropriate initial and ongoing training, relevant support and the necessary supervision to equip them for their task.
All volunteers are trained to enable them to be effective and equipped to work with children and/or young people in their care. However, although GBM volunteers seek to do their best for the members of the group(s), occasionally members, parents/carers or church members may question the actions that they have taken.
GBM is committed to ensuring that all activities offered to children or young people are provided within safe, secure and empowering environments.
