Safeguarding
Safeguarding is the action the Church takes to promote a safer culture. This means we will promote the welfare of children, young people and adults, work to prevent the abuse from occurring, seek to protect those that are at risk of being abused and respond to those who have been abused. We will take care to identify where a person may present a risk to others, and offer support to them whilst taking steps to mitigate such risks.
If you have a safeguarding concern please contact: Priest in Charge: Rev. Dr. Robert Kelsey Tel: 01289 382325 Parish Safeguarding Officer: Mrs Rebecca Simpson Tel: 07419779138 Email: [email protected] Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser: Ruth Rogan Tel: 07825 167016 |
We seek to align our safeguarding work with 'Promoting a Safer Church' - the Church of England's safeguarding policy statement for children, young people and adults.
