SAFEGUARDING
St Helen with St Martin Parochial Church Council (PCC) takes seriously its obligations and responsibilities to protect and safeguard the welfare of any child, young person or vulnerable adult within the church community. The PCC has appointed a Parish Safeguarding Representative, to whom any allegation or concerns about abuse should be directed. His contact details are listed below
The nominated person is not one of those normally working or volunteering with children, young people or vulnerable adults. He will follow the guidelines and procedures for responding to any allegations of abuse.
The Parish Safeguarding Policy is in the sub folder here. Hard copies are displayed in each Church.
