Keeping Everyone Safe.
All of the church communities of the Brothertoft, Sibsey with Carrington Group of churches are committed to ensuring that good safeguarding practices are in place. If you are in anyway concerned or worried by anything that is happening or what somebody is doing we have specially trained people who you can talk to and who you can ask for help. The people who can help are the Safeguarding Officer or the Parish Priest.
Safeguarding Officer: Angela Sykes on: [email protected]
Parish Priest: Revd Clive Todd on: [email protected]
If you wish to speak to someone outside the churches you can contact the diocesan safeguarding team – their contact details are available here. There is also information there about other places where you can get help or advice.
