Safeguarding resources and information
All the churches in our Benefice strive to create and maintain environments that are safer for all, that promote well-being, that prevent abuse, and that create nurturing, caring conditions within the Church for children, young people and vulnerable adults. In addition, each of our churches strives to support all church officers to adhere to safer working good practice and to challenge the abuse of power.
