What we do

Everything that we do is backed by our local policies and procedures for Safeguarding

Safeguarding

We are committed to the safeguarding,  care,  nurture and pastoral ministry of everyone within our church community including but not limited to:  children,  young adults,  vulnerable adults and victims of domestic abuse.
We have adopted and follow Church of England and Diocese of Worcester policy, guidelines and safer recruitment practice guidance.  We keep our safeguarding records up to date and respond promptly when required.
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.  We all have a duty of care to protect children & adults in our churches.
What you should do if you have concerns
Where there are suspicions of abuse but where no allegation of abuse has been made,  you should share your concerns with,  and seek guidance from,  the Vicar and/or Diocesan Safeguarding Administrator.  Currently we do not have a local Safeguarding Administrator.
