As members of the PCC we commit our church community to the support, nurture, protection and safeguarding of all, especially the young and vulnerable. We recognise that our work with children, young people and vulnerable adults is the responsibility of the whole church community. We are fully committed to acting within current legislation, guidance, national frameworks, and the Diocesan Safeguarding Policy and procedures.

We will also act in an open, transparent, and accountable way in working in partnership with the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser, Children and Adult Social Care Services, the Police, Probation Services, and other agencies to safeguard children and vulnerable adults. We welcome staff and volunteers who are recruited in accordance with the House of Bishops’ Interim Guidelines on Safer Recruitment 2013. This means we will ensure that those who are employed or who volunteer to work with children, young people, and vulnerable adults are suitable for the role, that they know what the role entails, and that they are supported in carrying it out.
