keeping our church
community safe
We recognise that churches haven’t always been safe places for children, young people, and vulnerable adults. That’s why safeguarding is absolutely central to who we are as a church community. We have a robust and active safeguarding policy in place, and we are fully committed to fostering a safe, nurturing environment for everyone.
