SAFEGUARDING
Proverbs 31:8 – Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
Safeguarding is at the heart of our Christian community and every church must be clear about its safeguarding responsibilities for children, young people and vulnerable adults. We want everyone who visits our church to feel welcome and safe. The PCC of All Saints Church formally adopts The House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policy – “Promoting a Safer Church.”
If you have any concerns regarding safeguarding please speak to our safeguarding officer and/or a senior church officer.
Our policies are reviewed annually.
