OUR PRINCIPLES

As a church we take safeguarding extremely seriously. Each of our churches have details of our safeguarding officers and policies prominently displayed. For further information contact the parish office.

We are committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of everyone within our community.

​

• Promote a safer environment and culture

• Safely recruit and support all those with any responsibility related to children and vulnerable adults within the Church

These policy commitments are based on our five foundations:

​
