SAFEGUARDING
Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.
1 Peter 3:8
Safeguarding Practice and Policies
Christian communities should be places where all people feel welcomed, respected
and safe from abuse.
Our parishes are committed to encouraging an environment where all people, and especially children and those who may be vulnerable, for any reason, are able to worship and pursue their faith journey with encouragement and in safety.
​
Our parishes are committed to the 5 National Safeguarding Standards.
