The Churches of the White Horse Ministry Team (of which Holy Trinity and the Tin Church at Brokerswood are members) take their responsibilities surrounding the safeguarding of children, young people, and adults who may be at risk very seriously. We work in partnership with the Salisbury Diocese to ensure that we work in accordance with best practice at all times. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies, and we have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO).
