St Paul's Quarndon has a responsibility to safeguard children and young people, and vulnerable adults. We aim to create safe environments where children and young people are nurtured and protected; and where all people, especially those who may be vulnerable for any reason, are able to worship and pursue their faith journey with encouragement and in safety.

We follow the Parish Safeguarding handbook and St Paul's Safeguarding Policy, details of which can be located in the document links below. We act promptly on any complaints made and work in partnership with Derbyshire Diocese, the police and social care services where children or adults at risk have been harmed or are at risk of harm or mistreatment.

We support and train all of our workers (both paid and unpaid) in line with Anglican church safeguarding regulations, including the use of criminal records disclosures and barring schemes wherever applicable.
