Safeguarding

Safeguarding is at the heart of all we do as a Benefice.
Safeguarding concerns should be reported to Anthea Parsons: [email protected]
Our Safeguarding Policy can be found in each of our churches. You'll also find a child-friendly version of our policy there too.

Although Anthea covers the whole benefice, we do have 'friendly faces' in other parishes who you can speak to:
Bacton and Wyverstone - Rosy Black
Old Newton and Gipping - Anthea Parsons
Wickham Skeith - Margaret Jones-Evans
Cotton - Jayne Lownes-Toole
