We aim to be a church where everyone feels safe and taken care of. You can find details about how we strive to do this below.
Safeguarding is the responsibility of everyone in the church community and we take it extremely seriously. We have a friendly and dedicated team of safeguarding officers and champions for children, young people, vulnerable adults and people with disabilities.
This page tells you who to contact if you have a safeguarding concern and what processes we follow. You will also find a list of all our safeguarding policies should you want to find out more.
