Safeguarding Information and Contacts

 

 

The care and protection of children, young people and adults is very important to us.  Everyone who participates in the life of our churches shares this responsibility.

 

All our staff and volunteers are safely recruited and complete regular Safeguarding training appropriate to their role. They agree to abide by the Church of England Code of Safer Working Practice.
