Safeguarding

The care and protection of every child, young person and adult involved in our church is the responsibility of everyone involved in our church.

The Diocese of Leeds and all parishes within it adopt Church of England policies and practice guidance relating to safeguarding.

We will endeavour to safeguard children, young people and adults by:

  • Promoting a safer environment and culture.

  • Safely recruiting and supporting all those with any responsibility related to children, young people and vulnerable adults within the church.

  • Responding promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation.

  • Caring pastorally for victims/survivors of abuse and other affected persons.

  • Caring pastorally for those who are the subject of concerns or allegations of abuse and other affected persons.

  • Responding to those that may pose a present risk to others.
