Safeguarding
We believe that every human being is made in the image of God. It follows that we should honour everyone regardless of their age, capabilities, gender or ethnicity.
Protecting the vulnerable, whether adults or children is a responsibility carried by all in Christian ministry; we cannot be satisfied until we are sure we have done all in our power to protect them from harm. Our churches must be a safe haven.
At Taverham St Edmunds we follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer supported by the Diocesan Safeguarding Team.
If you have any safeguarding concerns or queries please contact our Parish Safeguarding Officer ( vacant post)
or a Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor can be contacted on:
01603 882345
Address: Safeguarding Team, Bishop’s House, Norwich, NR3 1SB.
If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services."
