East Dartford Benefice

If you would like to have a conversation about getting married at either St Alban or St Edmund, or about renewing your wedding vows, or about receiving prayers of thanksgiving and blessing if you are part of a same sex couple, we would love to hear from you. Get in touch anytime or ring, email or text the vicar, Mandy Young. We'd be happy to help.

Safeguarding

Our Parish is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO, Lorraine Bathgate at St Edmund's Church or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
