Safeguarding at St Paul's Church | Creating a Safe Environment

Promoting a Safer Church

At St Paul’s, we are wholeheartedly committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment for everyone, especially children, young people, and vulnerable adults.

We believe that safeguarding is the responsibility of the whole church.

As part of our Christian calling, we are dedicated to protecting those in our care and ensuring that our church remains a place of safety, trust, and respect.

We also equip and support our volunteers to uphold the highest standards of care and accountability.

If you have any concerns about the safety or well-being of a child, young person, or vulnerable adult, please don’t hesitate to contact a member of our Safeguarding Team.

All concerns will be treated with sensitivity and in confidence.
