Churches
Together Many churches now enter into partnership
with other churches locally to further their work and witness
in the community. This often leads to the holding of special
joint events, perhaps a Walk of Witness at Easter or an
outdoor carol service at Christmas.

First
Aid & Accidents Accidents will always happen
and it is important you deal with them appropriately. You
need to consider your first aid box, accident record book,
whether you need to inform your insurers and whether you
must report it to the Health and Safety Executive.

Food
Preparation Provided that certain basic precautions
are followed there is no reason whatsoever why churches
should not be involved in the preparation and sale of food
– whether a one off annual event, a weekly coffee
morning or daily catering on a larger scale.

Personal Safety & Lone Workers
Many churches and charities have employees and volunteers
who work on their own at some point – perhaps in a
small shop, working outside normal hours or visiting a private
home. Whether it is working alone on the premises or visiting
private homes, it is important that you have a lone worker
policy in place for their personal safety.
