Halling: St John's Church
High Street Halling Rochester, ME2 1BB, United Kingdom

Join us for Safeguarding Sunday 2025 as we come together at our Eucharist Service to celebrate and reflect on what it means to be a truly safe and welcoming church community. The theme this year is - Action speaks louder! Find out more about how we can keep our church community safe for all. At Halling, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do—from our clear displays of key contacts and safeguarding policies, to our accessible facilities and friendly, supportive atmosphere. Over 20 of our church members have completed safeguarding training with 8 at leadership level and 20 have also completed DBS checks, helping to create a culture where everyone feels protected, valued, and heard. Information on local and national safeguarding organisations, including Safe Spaces and Thirtyone:eight, is available on our noticeboard and website. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and together, we can make our church a place of trust, compassion, and safety for all.
