Safeguarding

 

As a Parochial Church Council, we are committed to protect and
safeguard all our members, and those whom we serve in the parish,
particularly children and vulnerable adults. We work hard to ensure we
operate in line with the current practices recommended by the Diocese
of Oxford and the national Church of England.


These recommendations include creating a safe environment, the safe
recruitment of staff and volunteers, DBS clearance and training.
