Safeguarding young people and vulnerable adults

We want everyone to feel safe and free to worship in our church services and to be able to take part in activities run by the church. With this in mind, St Mary’s Church, Silverton, operates the Diocesan Policy on Safeguarding. The full policy may be accessed at: https://exeter.anglican.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Diocese-Safeguarding-Policy-Statement-2021.pdf

If you have a concern about the safety of someone or the actions of someone working with children or vulnerable adults, please speak to:
