Safeguarding

Our Mission Statement

“The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in Church activities is the responsibility of the whole Church. Everyone who participates in the life of the Church has a role to play in promoting a Safer Church for all.”
(From ‘Promoting a Safer Church’, The Church of England’s Safeguarding Policy Statement

At St Paul’s, Cheltenham we take very seriously the care and protection of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. To ensure the highest standards possible, we have adopted the Church of England safeguarding policy statement and associated parish safeguarding handbook, which you can find below. Using these key documents we have implemented a number of safeguarding procedures to ensure a robust system of recruitment, training and monitoring of all staff and volunteers who work with children, young people and vulnerable adults.

If you have any questions please contact Roger Widdecombe, our Parish Safeguarding Officer for Vulnerable Adults, at vicar@stpaulscheltenham.com
