Safeguarding

As a church we have adopted the House of Bishops ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ policy and the Parish Safeguarding Handbook, incorporating the House of Bishop’s Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance. Our PCC has formally adopted this and signed the Safeguarding Policy Statement Promoting a Safer Church. Details of our parish safeguarding officer can be found below. We have also displayed ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ poster prominently within our church. All those working with children and adults at risk have undergone safer recruitment, received safeguarding training and support.

Laura Howard - Safeguarding Officer

The Parish Safeguarding Officer is the key link between the diocese and the parish, concerning safeguarding matters. She will have an overview of all church activities involving children, young people, and vulnerable adults and will seek to ensure the implementation of safeguarding policy.
