We take very seriously our duty to value all people and to protect them from harm

Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God’s own image and likeness. We adopt Church of England policies and practice guidance relating to safeguarding.

If you are concerned that someone you know is at risk of, or is being abused, or presents a risk to others, please seek advice from a Safeguarding Adviser or if necessary report the matter to the Local Authority Social Care Services or the Police without delay.
