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.
