Safeguarding Statement

As a PCC we have adopted the House of Bishops' Promoting a Safer Church: "Safeguarding Policy Statement of the Church of England" document 2017.

The six policy commitments to safeguarding in the document are:

* Promoting a safer environment and culture

* Safely recruiting and supporting all those with any responsibility related to children, young people and vulnerable adults within the  Church

* Responding promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation

* Caring pastorally for victims/survivors of abuse and other affected persons

* Caring pastorally for those who are subject of concerns or allegations of abuse and other affected persons

* Responding to those that may pose a present risk to others

This policy document, along with the Diocesan guidelines and policies, form the basis of our local safeguarding policies.

Agreed by the PCC on 30th April 2019
