The Vale of Roding benefice is a group of five churches, from suburban to rural. We have three churches forming the Parish of Chigwell and Chigwell Row, plus a couple of rural churches in Stapleford Abbotts and Lambourne. Please look at our individual church pages to find out more.
Our Parishes are committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the church's PSO on the individual church pages or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
