The Benefice of St James, High Wych, St Mary’s, Gilston & St Botolph’s, Eastwick believe the protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in our activities is the responsibility of our whole Church. It is important, therefore, that everyone who participates in the life of our Church must play their part in promoting a safer Church for all.

In order to ensure the implementation of the Policy, the Parochial Church Council (PCC) has appointed Cath Sharples as the Benefice Safeguarding Coordinator and can be contacted on 01279 600996 in respect of any issues relating to any of our Church's safeguarding of children, young people or vulnerable adults.
