SaFEGUARDING

Children & Vulnerable Adults Policy​

​As a community of faith, we consider the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults to be a key part of our mission and ministry. As such, we will always respond to any concerns in compliance with UK statute and guidance.

Principles
  • All children, young people and adults have rights to feel safe and to be protected from humiliating and degrading treatment; this includes all forms of abuse and neglect.
  • Children and young people are unable to protect themselves and are dependent on adults to ensure their welfare needs are met
  • Some adults are unable to care for themselves and are vulnerable, sometimes due to transient circumstances or illness, occasionally as a result of aging.
  • The Church has a legal and moral and Christian duty to ensure all those living within the community are safe and protected

​As part of the Diocese of Oxford, we abide by the guidelines laid out in the Diocesan Safeguarding Handbook. 

All Saints expresses these principles by:
  • Having a Safeguarding Team to advise on any concerns: 
    • The Rev'd Jackie Lock - Associate Priest
    • The Rev'd Gareth Morley - Curate
    • Robyn Connelly - Children and Families Minister
    • Jo Norman - Safeguarding Officer  Tel:  07802 748112​
  • Responding to any concern regarding the well-being of children, young people and vulnerable adults
  • Safeguarding training for all who work directly with children, young people and vulnerable adults in regulated positions (as defined by Disclosure and Barring service)
  • A clear policy and procedure guidelines available to all
  • Providing a safe environment for all who wish to worship and take part in church activities
