Safeguarding

At All Saints we are committed to the safety of all our members and take Safeguarding seriously. The welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults is of paramount importance to us and we aim to do everything that we can to provide a safe and caring environment whilst they attend Services and activities.

The PCC has adopted the Church of England’s policies and best practice on safeguarding which may be found on the Church of England’s website www.churchofengland.org/safeguarding or on the Safeguarding pages of the Chelmsford Diocese www.chelmsford.anglican.org/safeguarding.
