Safeguarding @ St Paul’s
St Paul’s takes safeguarding seriously. We want everyone to feel welcome and safe because we want to show the love of Jesus for all.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, so we make sure that we ‘safely recruit’ and support all our staff and volunteers working with children and adults, and tell everyone how important this is.
Our safeguarding policy and procedures comply with the House of Bishops 2017 Policy ‘Promoting a Safer Church’.
