Safeguarding
Christian communities should be places where all people feel welcomed, respected and safe from abuse.
Our parish is committed to encouraging an environment where all people, and especially children and those who may be vulnerable, for any reason, are able to worship and pursue their faith journey with encouragement and in safety.
St Paul’s PCC have adopted the Church of England’s national safeguarding policy on 16th May 2023
