Safeguarding our children and vulnerable adults

St James Church takes its responsibilities surrounding the safeguarding of children, young people, and adults who may be at risk very seriously, and works in partnership with the Diocese of Salisbury to ensure that we work in accordance with best practice at all times.

Our Parish Safeguarding Policy (which will be due for renewal in October 2023) can be downloaded below.
