Safeguarding at St James' by the Park

​​

We are committed to protect and care for everyone in the church community, but especially vulnerable adults and children.
All staff and volunteers who lead groups for under 18s have been checked by the Disclosure and Barring Service.  All volunteers who help with groups for under 18s have been safely recruited.
 
Here's a copy of our child, young people and vulnerable adult safeguarding policy.
Here's a link to the Church of England Parish Safeguarding Handbook.
Here's a link to the Diocese of Winchester Safeguarding Pages and Resources.

If you have any safeguarding concerns:
Even if you think, “It’s probably nothing …” it is really important that you report your concerns quickly.
