Safeguarding

Safeguarding refers to the range of plans and activities that are put in place to protect children and adults who may be vulnerable to abuse and neglect from being exploited or harmed. Safeguarding in the church community – making our churches safe for children, young people and vulnerable adults – is everyone’s responsibility.

​

Our Benefice takes the well-being and safety of the children and vulnerable adults that attend our churches very seriously. If you have a safeguarding concern, please contact the Parish Safeguarding Officers, Kate Reynolds (01761 221548 safeguarding.bcmu@gmail.com).

Alternatively you can contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Team on 01749 558917.
