Responsibility ~ Vulnerability ~ Growth ~

St Paul’s takes safeguarding seriously. We want everyone to feel welcome and safe. We are committed to these 3 words and what they mean in Safeguarding:

Responsibility – recognising that safeguarding is the responsibility of everyone.

Vulnerability – recognising and understanding that there are vulnerabilities in individuals which may need a response and care.

Growth – aiming to grow the culture of a safe, cherished and accessible church community.
