Safeguarding

At St Matthews we take it very seriously that we must be a safe and welcoming place for all. We ensure that all engaged with children and vulnerable people have the required DBS certification and training. The PCC have adopted the House of Bishops ‘Promoting a safer church: Safeguarding policy statement’

If you see or know something that concerns you, please share it with our clergy, nominated Safeguarding Officer or Church Wardens.
