Purpose and foundation
Social media has become an integral part of the lives of many in our society and something which we as a denomination cannot ignore in its relevance or usefulness.

“We don’t have a choice on whether we DO social media, the question is how well we DO it.  Social Media isn’t a fad, it’s a   fundamental shift in the way we communicate.” Erik Qualman    (author and keynote speaker on social media)

The NSPCI recognises that many of our churches and members wish to have an online presence and participate in the world of social media.  We encourage and support the use of such a dynamic, multi-faceted and engaging forum and view it with positivity and offering much potential.  As the online world continues to expand and develop, providing a range of forums and applications in which we can partake, it is important that the NSPCI maintains a relevant, contemporary voice which reflects our church, its members and its traditions.  We believe that we have a responsibility to spread our message as far and wide as possible, including taking our place in the mission field of the online world.

Safeguarding Report

In May 2017 AccessNI carried out a complete inspection of our safeguarding policies and practices. While the results of this were very positive, especially for such a small organisation, there were some minor amendments which AccessNI requested.

AccessNI requested that we create policies on the handling of disclosure information and the employment of people with criminal records. I worked with AccessNI to draft policies which meet their requirements and these were presented to GPC for clearance in September.
