Safeguarding

Here at St Peter's, we are committed to creating a safe church for all.

We have adopted the Bishop's 'Promoting a Safer Church' safeguarding Policy Statement for Children, Young People and Adults which can be viewed here.

Our Safeguarding Officer is Finley Lawson. If you have a concern about safeguarding, please contact Finn on 07796 783013‬ or email [email protected]

You are also welcome to talk through any concerns with the Revd Tim Hatwell 01732 886827 or 07799601546 or email [email protected].

In an emergency please contact the police on 999.
