The Wenlock Team Ministry

The Wenlock Team of Parishes is in the Condover Deanery, in the Archdeaconry of Ludlow in the diocese of Hereford. It is a rural team, with Shrewsbury the county town of Shropshire to the north and Telford to the north-east.

It is a productive agricultural area with many small independent businesses throughout the team. The main centers for employment are Telford and Shrewsbury, while some people commute to Wolverhampton, Birmingham and further afield.

There are good transport links via the M54, the A5 and A49 to the benefice. There are also train services at Church Stretton, Shrewsbury and Telford.

Whilst some families have lived in the benefice for generations, other families wishing to live in this part of the beautiful Shropshire countryside have enriched our communities and churches.

Safeguarding

The Wenlock Team Ministry

Those persons functionally identified below ("we") understand that parishioners are likely from time to time have differing levels of vulnerability and that some amongst us may come to be regarded as being vulnerable (to some lesser or greater extent) at some point in our lives.

We will seek to ensure that we will offer respectful pastoral care and safeguarding to all adults in the Parish.

We will strive to promote safe practice.

We commit to promoting the inclusion and empowerment of vulnerable parishioners.

Under this safeguarding policy we recognise that it is our responsibility to support those who report a physical, emotional, sexual, financial and spiritual abuse of vulnerable people and as may be necessary report such abuse or exploitation.

In the selection of those persons named from time to time below we will take all reasonable and proper care in selecting those who will be subject to this Policy.

The Parish is committed to supporting, resourcing, training and regularly reviewing those who volunteer to implement this, Policy.

The Parish has adopted the Safeguarding Policy of the Church of England and the Diocese and require those implementing this policy to similarly do so and to follow such additional recommendation and guidelines as may be set out in writing by the PCC from time to time.
