We want our churches to be safe places where everyone can flourish. We take very seriously the importance of safeguarding all persons using our church facilities or having dealings with representatives of our church community.
We are committed to following government and Church of England guidelines on the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults and good working practice, including safer recruitment of volunteers and paid workers.
If you have a safeguarding concern, please email rev.phillipa@stmarysbaldock.org.uk or speak to a member of our ministry team (position of safeguarding officer is currently vacant)
