We are the Anglican Church in Chapeltown, Leeds.
All are welcome
Christian communities should be places where all people feel welcomed, respected and safe from abuse.
This Parish Church of St Martin, Potternewton is committed to encouraging an environment where all people, and especially children and those who may be vulnerable for any reason, are able to worship and pursue their faith journey with encouragement and in safety.
To this end we have adopted the House of Bishops' policy for safeguarding adults in the Church of England “Promoting a safe church” and the House of Bishops' Child Protection Policy “Protecting All God’s Children” as the basis for our own Church policy and practice document.
These policies are available online at:
