As a church we take safeguarding very seriously and are committed to high standards in the safeguarding and care of children, young people, and vulnerable adults.
St Mary’s is committed to safeguarding children, young people, victims/survivors of domestic abuse, and vulnerable adults. Further information about support can be found here. The PCC has adopted the Church of England’s policies and best practice on safeguarding which may be found on the Church of England’s website.
Safeguarding issues can be raised with the Rector, any staff member, or our Parish Safeguarding Officers Catherine de Mars and Aaron Webb, who may be contacted via the church office (01256 464249) or by email .
