The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in Church activities is the responsibility of the whole church. Everyone who participates in the life of the Church has a role to play in promoting a Safer Church for all.

Below you will see our church's Safeguarding Policy Statement with links to the Church of England National Safeguarding Standards Resources and Safeguarding e-manual.

If you are concerned that someone you know is at risk of, or is being abused, or presents a risk to others, please seek advice from a Safeguarding Adviser or if necessary report the matter to the Local Authority Social Care Services or the Police without delay.
