Safeguarding

We have adopted the Church of England's national safeguarding policy, and are in the process of making sure it is implemented. Here is a link to the National Policy, and one to the National Safeguarding Team’s webpage.

The care and protection of children, young people and adults involved in Church activities is the responsibility of everyone who participates in the life of the Church.

If You Are Concerned

that someone you know is at risk of, or is being abused, or presents a risk to others, please seek advice from a Safeguarding Adviser or if necessary report the matter to the Local Authority Social Care Services or the Police without delay.

Local contacts available to speak to if you have any concerns:
