Health and safety is not just a box-ticking exercise, nor a necessary response to interfering authorities. A proper regard for people's well-being goes to the heart of Christian ministry.
As church leaders, we should be invested in it, and glad to be - seeing it as a positive way of caring for and loving others.
In this episode, Becky Thomas, our Director for Church Governance, joins Adrian Reynolds to talk about risk, keeping people safe, and why we should all be on board.
