Safeguarding 

Caring for people is a very importanyt part of our Christian life and we always set out to do it well. 

We see ourselves as 'family' and want to treat people in a way that is thoughtful and kind. We try to make sure that people who have jobs in the church always behave well and in a way that is helpful to you. We never want anyone or anything in church to frighten, confuse or worry people. It is important that you tell us if something is upsetting you or if you are feeling worried about somthing that is happening or someone is doing. We have specially trained people who can talk to and who you can ask for help. These people are good at safeguarding which means they look after everyone's safety.
