Our commitment

How we keep our church a safe place

We follow the safeguarding policies of the Church of England and the Diocese of Sheffield. Our parish has a named Safeguarding Officer in each church, and all volunteers and staff who work with children or vulnerable adults receive appropriate training and DBS checks.

We’re committed to listening carefully, taking every concern seriously, and acting swiftly when something needs to change. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility — and creating a place where people feel safe and respected is at the heart of who we want to be.

Our statement on domestic abuse

We stand against domestic abuse in all its forms. If you’re experiencing abuse, or you’re worried about someone who is, we want to help. Please speak to our Safeguarding Officer or the Oversight Minister in confidence, or contact the National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247 (free, 24/7).
