St Andrew’s Safeguarding
St Andrew’s PCC has produced safguarding policies which takes account of the House of Bishops’ ‘Promoting a Safer Church; safeguarding policy statement’. We regularly update these to give details of how these important principles are applied locally in regard to our work both with children & young people, and with Vulnerable adults.
The Church of England is very keen that safeguarding concerns are appropriately reported and has produced a number of documents (here, here, here & here) encouraging people to do so, and answering questions about the process.
