Safeguarding

Ensuring that children, young people and vulnerable adults are kept safe whilst in our care is an integral part of our church life. 

Our new Safeguarding Policy has been agreed and adopted by our Parochial Church Council at a meeting in September 2026.

The Code of Safer Working Practice expresses our commitment to demonstrating God’s love by placing the highest priority on the safety of those to whom we minister. It sets out what we expect from anyone who ministers in our church, in both paid or voluntary roles, and is one of the ways we ensure high standards of safeguarding in all we do.
