Safeguarding

Safeguarding supports everything that we do.

Our Parish Safeguarding Officer is Clare Waggett.

  • Do you have a question about something that you have seen or heard? Do you want to tell someone how you feel about something? Come and have a chat with Clare.
  • Are you concerned about someone or yourself? Clare can direct and support you.
  • Clare can also offer support and guidance as part of the recruitment process for volunteer roles in the church (including DBS checks).
