Safeguarding 2021/2022
The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults visiting and participating in St Nicholas' activities is important. Everyone who participates in the life of the church has a role to play in promoting a Safer Church for all. St Nicholas follows the Church of England safeguarding guidance; these policies can be found on the Diocesan website Click Here
If you have any worries or concerns about yourself or another person who may be being harmed or is at risk of harm we will do our best to help you. If you have any concerns that an individual working or volunteering at St Nicholas may be acting inappropriately or harming another please Click Here
Our leaders and volunteers understand their responsibilities regarding safeguarding.
