Safeguarding

Our Safeguarding Policy

St Anne's Church has adopted the policies and procedures recommended nationally by the Church of England.

Code of Safer Working Practice

Our Code of Safer Working Practice expresses our commitment to demonstrating God’s love by placing the highest priority on the safety of those to whom we minister. It sets out what we expect from anyone who ministers in our church, in both paid or voluntary roles, and is one of the ways we ensure high standards of safeguarding in all we do. All members of staff and volunteers are expected to report any breaches of this code to the Parish Safeguarding Officer (details below). Please follow the links to find the following essential safeguarding documents:

Further information can be found on the Church of England Safeguarding website.

Reporting & responding to abuse or inappropriate behaviour to you or others.

If you have any concerns, whether they be for yourself or someone else, whether or not something has actually occurred or you are aware of that something may be wrong but you do not know enough to be sure you should report this. We ask you to report this to our parish "Safeguarding Officer", but if they are not available or for some reason you do not want to contact them, then you may contact the Vicar or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. See below for how to contact them. If you or someone else is in immediate danger then phone 999.

Never do nothing.

Should you have a concern over any safeguarding issue then please contact.
