​Safeguarding is the practice of protecting individuals, particularly vulnerable groups, from harm, abuse, and neglect, ensuring their well-being and safety within the community. The PCC of St. Mary's Church embraces the Diocesan of Lincoln Safeguarding Strategy (2023-2026), and, in so doing, follows the guidelines as regards policies adopted to ensure that St. Mary's maintains a strong safeguarding environment where issues are recognised and addressed with care, compassion and professionalism.
