SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS
The Church of England (of which Amblecote Holy Trinity is a part) is committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of everyone within our church community.
In all these principles we will follow legislation, guidance and recognised good practice.
“The Diocese of Worcester is committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults to worship and grow in Christ safely. I take that commitment very seriously and believe that making our churches safe for all is everyone’s responsibility. To enable that, our diocesan safeguarding team provides professional advice and training, as well as supporting those who may have suffered abuse. I commend to you the important policies and procedures detailed here. It is my prayer that they will help to ensure that all can flourish as God’s Kingdom
Bishop John
