Safeguarding is a priority in all our churches.
We are committed to following government and Church of England guidelines on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults and good working practice, including safer recruitment of volunteers and paid workers. Each parish works to a formal safeguarding policy which can be obtained via the parish clergy or parish safeguarding officer. If you have any concerns regarding the safety or welfare of a child or vulnerable adult you can speak to:
