Safeguarding

The protection from harm of children, young persons and adults who may be vulnerable is of paramount importance to St. Luke’s. The chaplaincy council is committed to upholding the requirements and best practices of the Diocese in Europe Safeguarding Policy and Protocol and has therefore adopted the Chaplaincy Safeguarding Protocol proposed by the diocese. Our chaplaincy safeguarding protocol can be consulted on the noticeboard at the back of the chapel or by clicking on the link "St. Luke’s Safeguarding Protocol" that you will find in the "Chaplaincy Safeguarding Policy" section.

Further information is available on the Diocesan website.
