Please note that the Archdiocesan Safeguarding Policy policy cannot be used outside of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of the British Isles and Ireland. Other organisations outside our Archdiocese need to design their own policies and take responsibility for the fitness of those policies themselves.  We do not take any responsibility for any safeguarding issues arising from an illicit use of this policy by other organisations contrary to this instruction.
