Safeguarding young people and vulnerable adults

We want everyone to feel safe and free to worship in our church services and to be able to take part in activities run by the church.

With this in mind we have a Safeguarding Policy which is available in the church building or by contacting our Parish Safeguarding Officer Mrs Anne Paget. If you have a concern about the safety of someone, or the actions of someone working with children or vulnerable adults, please also speak to Anne Paget.
