Safeguarding
The PCC of St Mary the Virgin, Ware, takes very seriously the importance of safeguarding all those who are vulnerable - children, young people and vulnerable adults. We have adopted all the Church of England's policies and practice guidance including:
'Domestic Abuse Statement', appendix 5 of the practice guidance 'Responding Well to Domestic Abuse' which can be found on p46 of this pdf
These and all other safeguarding documents and can be downloaded from the St Albans Diocesan website
