At St Margaret’s we take seriously our responsibility to provide safe environments for everyone. The care and protection of children, young people and adults involved in Church activities is the responsibility of everyone who participates in the life of the Church.
St Margaret’s PCC has approved our Safeguarding Policy in July 2023. This document can be found here.
We have adopted the House of Bishops “Promoting a safer church” safeguarding policy statement which can be found within the Diocese safeguarding handbook, https://www.churchofengland.org/safeguarding/safeguarding-e-manual
