Safeguarding is at the heart of our Christian faith. Our Church Council believes that every human being is made in God's image. We should therefore honour and love everyone, regardless of age, ability, gender or ethnicity. Children, young people and vulnerable adults require particular protection and care.
We have adopted policies to do this according to the Diocese of Norwich Safeguarding guidance, available here.
If you have any safeguarding concerns this website also provides contact details so you can report a safeguarding concern to local government authorities and also the contact details of the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisors, from whom you can seek advice.
If you have concerns specifically concerning our parish please also contact the Parish Safeguarding Officer, Caroline Gibbs on 01603 501681, by Email or post: c/o Parishes Office, 41 Church Lane, Norwich NR4 6NW.
