The House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policy has been adopted by All Saints and St Richards Churches and is implemented in all our work with children and vulnerable adults by the Parochial Church Council.
Jane Brackpool is the representative of the PCC as Parish Safeguarding Officer and ensures that people are familiar with and adhere to the policy. If you wish to volunteer for a ministry at either church; need a DBS check; report a safeguarding concern or allegation, then contact her on 01892 663149 or at safeguarding@allsaintscrowborough.org
See our Safeguarding Statement here.
See our code of conduct here.
