We want to be a family-friendly church. We recognise that bringing your children to church is no mean feat. We welcome the sight and sound of children and young people among us. We ask every member of the congregation to take responsibility for creating a welcoming atmosphere. We recognise that how we do things may need to change in order to engage children, young people, and families in a way that reflects their contributions and needs.

Safeguarding

Our parish of East Hendred 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 of Oxford’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 the Parish Safeguarding Officer for East Hendred and West Hendred (Angela Findley, [email protected]) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (Erica Hegg, 01865 208295, [email protected]). 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.
