Information About Keeping Safe

Most of the time at church we are like a big happy family. However even in very happy families people we know and trust can upset us.

We want to help everyone have good days all of the time. We try to make sure that people who have jobs in the church always behave well and in a way that is helpful to you. We never want anyone or anything in church to frighten you, confuse you or worry you.

It is important that you tell us if something is upsetting you or if you are feeling worried about something that's happening or something somebody is doing. We have specially trained people who you can talk to and who you can ask for help. These people are good at safeguarding. This means they look after everyone's safety. Caring for people is a very important part of our Christian life.

The people who can help you are the Rector (Rev. Peter Liley, click here for contact details) or the Parish Safeguarding Officer (currently vacant).

If you wish to speak to someone outside the local churches you can contact the diocesan safeguarding team - their contact details are available here. There is also information there about the independent national helpline and other places from where you can get help or advice.
