Safeguarding
“In accordance with the Church of England Safeguarding Policy our church is committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of everyone within our community, and will ensure that we will:
- Adopt and implement the House of Bishops’ safeguarding policy and practice guidance.
- Promote and publicise the ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ policy statement, and ensure all church officers have access to it.
- Have a plan in place that sets out, in line with national and local priorities, how the policy will be put into action.
- Ensure that any person who works with vulnerable groups is aware of and abides by national and local safeguarding guidance.
- Review the policy regularly to ensure best practice”
Our Safeguarding Officers are: Helen Kershaw and Catherine Maclennan, who can be contacted via the Church Office (01625 879277) or by email.
The Diocesan Safeguarding Team can be contacted at safeguarding@chester.anglican.org or on 01928 643442
