Atworth with Shaw and Whitley

The parish of Atworth with Shaw and Whitley covers the village of Atworth with its traditional chapel-like church of St Michael and All Angels and the villages of Shaw and Whitley with its church of Christchurch which has recently undergone a radical change to its interior replacing Victorian pews with solid wood chairs.  It is in a rural setting but close to the city of Bath and has easy access to the M4.

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 Ann Harrison or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor both of whose contact details are displayed on the noticeboard in both churches . 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.
