SAFEGUARDING
We will do all we can to ensure that our worshipping communities offer the safest places for children and vulnerable people.
If you have any questions or concerns, speak to your local Safeguarding Officer. His/her contact details should be available on the church's notice board.
Reporting abuse and finding support
NSPCC helpline for Children and Adults: 0800 80 20 20
This is a special helpline that has been set up for the Past Case review 2 for those who have been affected either directly or indirectly by abuse in a church or cathedral setting. Calls will be handled sensitively and confidentially.
We understand reporting abuse may be very difficult and distressing to you and it may add to your hurt by our not being able to immediately assist you. Therefore here are the contact details of other agencies that are available to assist either on a 24-hour basis or through specialist helplines and services. Finding support contacts.
Digital Charter
As the Vale & Cotswold Edge team, we have signed up to the Church of England’s digital charter.
This is a voluntary pledge that we’re encouraging individual Christians as well as churches to sign to help make social media and the web more widely positive places for conversations to happen.
