Safeguarding

Promoting a safer Church

Safeguarding in The Vale of Pewsey Team of Churches

The Vale of Pewsey Team of Churches 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 Team of Churches have adopted the House of Bishops Safeguarding Policy for children, young people and adults which can be downloaded [here]
