Safeguarding

Safeguarding Policy

Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God’s own image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s re-creation of us in Christ. This implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm.

We accept and endorse the Principles of the House of Bishops on safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults at risk.

The Church Safeguarding Officers are Cliff Radmore and Beverley Ryan.

If you have a safeguarding concern:

• During our office hours please make contact via our office in the first instance on 020 7726 4878 saying you wish to report a safeguarding concern.
• Outside of our office hours, advice can be sought from the CCPAS helpline on 0845 120 4550. This is a 24-hour helpline, but please note that outside of normal business hours it is for urgent advice only.
