The Churches of the White Horse Ministry Team (of which Holy Trinity is a member) take their responsibilities surrounding the safeguarding of children, young people, and adults who may be at risk very seriously, and works in partnership with the Salisbury of Diocese to ensure that we work in accordance with best practice at all times.

Our parish of Dilton Marsh is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies, and we have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO).
