Safeguarding

At St Mary & St Cuthbert’s Church we take the safety of children, young people and vulnerable adults very seriously. We are committed to making the church a safe space and to dealing openly and transparently with any issues raised.

The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in the activities of St Mary & St Cuthbert’s Church is the responsibility of the whole Church.  Everyone who participates in the life of the Church has a role to play in promoting a safer Church for all.
