As people of the Church of England, we are concerned with the wholeness of each individual within God’s purpose for everyone. We seek to safeguard all members of the Church community of all ages. It is the responsibility of each one of us to protect children, young people and vulnerable adults from any physical, sexual or emotional abuse. It is the duty of a person working with children, young people and vulnerable adults to prevent abuse and to report any abuse, discovered or suspected.

In order to achieve this we will ensure our staff and volunteers are carefully selected, screened, trained and supervised, with a clear process of identifying, investigating, managing and preventing such abuse. As an organisation we are committed to promoting equality of opportunity to all members of our community.
