DESCRIPTION:At this service we focus on safeguarding\, as part of the nati
 onal Safeguarding Sunday movement.  Poster attached.  The theme this year 
 is 'Love Protects'\, rooted in 1 Corinthians 13.\n\nCome and meet our new 
 volunteer safeguarding lead\, Philip Hays-Nowak.  \n\nPhilip says: " Once 
 upon a time\, not so very long ago\, the principles of safeguarding – ro
 oted in caring for the wellbeing and safety of our young people\, for thos
 e of us who might be vulnerable\, or anyone who might be being harmed – 
 faced a huge challenge.  That challenge was silence.  The silence that sai
 d\, “it’s none of my business”.  The silence we kept when we feared 
 embarrassment. Silence when we feared retaliation. Silence because “they
 ’re such a nice person\, that can’t possibly be happening”.  Silence
 \njust because we were afraid.  Today\, we celebrate safeguarding\; we tal
 k openly about it\, we talk about risks\, we commit to caring about the we
 lfare of others. The more we do that\, the more voices we will hear when p
 eople are being are being put at risk or being harmed. We will have put a 
 stop to the silence".
