St Mary's and St Andrew's is committed to safeguarding all those who attend worship and any other activities that we offer. We follow the House of Bishop's Policy (2017), the Diocese of Ely policy and procedures and the practice guidelines as detailed in the Parish Safeguarding Handbook (2018).

We seek to create a culture where everyone is included, respected, listened to, and taken seriously. We also endeavour to create an environment that is physically safe, emotionally nurturing, intellectually open, spiritually healthy and socially inclusive. We accept the prime duty of care for children and vulnerable adults, and have appointed a safeguarding officer to ensure that what we do is informed by up-to-date policies and procedures from local and national authorities. We endeavour to make training and information available to everyone to foster and encourage a culture of congressional care.
