Safeguarding
All Saints is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults and creating protective and supportive environments where all people, especially those who may be vulnerable, can worship and pursue their faith journey in safety.
We follow the national legal and procedural framework for safeguarding children and adults, and Church of England policy and practice which can be found by clicking here.
All Saints Parochial Church Council (PCC) also have a Safeguarding of Children and Vulnerable Adults Policy which is reviewed and published annually and can be seen here.
All volunteers who work with young people and vulnerable adults are recruited according to the Church of England Safer Recruitment Policy and procedures and practises of Safeguarding are managed by our Parish Safeguarding Officer, Mike Gaskin (contact on 07734 325284).
