Safeguarding

Being faithful to our call to share the gospel therefore compels us to take with the utmost seriousness the challenge of preventing abuse from happening and responding well where it has“.

The 4 churches in this group take their safeguarding responsibilities very seriously and expect correct procedures to be followed at all times. We have adopted in full all the relevant policies issued by Peterborough Diocese. These apply to every area of activity of the Churches and its members. We expect anyone involved with either children or vulnerable adults to be familiar with these principles. If you have questions or concerns you wish to discuss, please speak to either Rev. Gary Alderson on 07503975588 or  Kate Hinchliff, our group’s Safeguarding Officer on 07745116621 . Find out more about safeguarding or Download the Benefice Safeguarding Policy
