Safeguarding 

As a church we take our safeguarding responsibilities very seriously and are committed to providing a safe and caring environment for children, young people, victims of domestic abuse and vulnerable adults who choose to come along. We also place a high value on dealing openly and transparently with any issues raised. 

We have a safeguarding policy in place and carry out DBS checks for those who require them. If you would like to see a copy of our policy or have specific questions about this please email our Designated Safeguarding Lead or call the church office on 0113 2302139
