Safeguarding
Safeguarding children and adults at risk is central to living the Gospel of Love Christ gave us.
We follow the House Of Bishop's Promoting a Safer Church policy as well as all the diocesan guidance on implementation. We follow safer recruitment practice with all our volunteers who work with children or adults at risk.
