Safeguarding
The parish is committed to the safeguarding of young people and vulnerable adults. We follow the policies and procedures contained in the Diocese of Southwark's safeguarding manual, 'A Safe Church'. This is also available in the church; please ask a Churchwarden or a member of the benefice safeguarding team.
If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, please speak to a member of the benefice safeguarding team. Please call 020 8688 4715 or email [email protected] for more information.
