Safeguarding at St John’s

Safeguarding is at the heart of the Gospel and we are committed to safeguarding good practice, to creating an environment where all people, especially those who may be vulnerable, are able to worship and to share together safely.

The PCC uses the Parish Safeguarding Dashboard to inform its annual review of safeguarding practices and procedures which includes adopting the Church of England Safeguarding Policy. Our policy can be found here Safeguarding Policy 2025 and a signed copy of the Policy Statement is displayed in the porch. (It refers to the Church of England’s Promoting a Safer Church Policy Statement, which is soon to be superseded. We will make any appropriate amendments to our policy following the publication of new documents which are expected some time later in the year.)

A Safeguarding e-manual is issued by the National Safeguarding Team which contains the key elements and processes of good safeguarding practice.

Our Parish Safeguarding Officer is Pip Lloyd-Perks, if you need to get in touch with Pip please click here.

The Diocesan Safeguarding Officer is Jackie Broadfoot who can be contacted via the Diocesan Safeguarding webpages here.
