Safeguarding

The care and protection of children, young people and adults involved in Church activities is the responsibility of everyone who participates in the life of the Church.

 

Our commitments:

  • Promoting a safer environment and culture
  • Safely recruiting and supporting all those with any responsibility related to children and vulnerable adults
  • Responding promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation
  • Caring pastorally for victims/survivors of abuse or other affected persons
  • Caring pastorally for those who are the subject of concerns/allegations of abuse or other affected persons
  • Responding to those that may pose a present risk
You can view our children’s safeguarding policy here and our vulnerable adults safeguarding policy here. This is in line with wider Church of England policy. You can view the House of Bishop’s Policy Statement on Promoting a Safer Church here.
