7.7 Ministry of deliverance
Concerns may be expressed that a child, young person or vulnerable adult is troubled by or possessed by evil spirits or demons and that this may account for behavioural issues in the individual or be considered to justify harsh treatment by the family, guardians, friends or carers.
If a church officer, including a member of clergy, becomes aware of the above situation and/or a request is made for deliverance ministry, the chaplaincy must contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Team who will contact the appropriate person.
