Safeguarding 

As members of the Church of England we are concerned with the wholeness of each individual within God’s purpose for everyone.   We seek to safeguard all members of the church community, of all ages. It is the responsibility of each one of us to protect children, young people and vulnerable adults from physical, emotional and sexual abuse, and from neglect. The policy and the procedures are kept under constant review and can be changed at any time. Such changes would be notified to PCC members and published thereafter to the Parish
