We can show that this harm is outweighed by the benefits through being aware of, and monitoring, dependence and taking steps to address it. We aim to prevent harm by ensuring a safeguarding environment in all areas. There may be abuse of the service in some areas which is mitigated by being aware, training, monitoring and taking steps to reduce it. This potential harm is outweighed by the benefits and is monitored through the outcomes. The majority of Living Rivers Trust activities carry no potential for harm. The charity’s beneficiaries are the general public, attenders of the meetings and their families, other churches and ministries, and overseas churches.
