​Child Protection -  In our Parish, we take seriously our responsibility for the protection of children and vulnerable & young people. We do our utmost to ensure a safe and secure environment for the provision of spiritual, catechetical and pastoral care, and activities in the Parish.

We will liaise with statutory agencies to ensure that any allegation of abuse is dealt with promptly and properly, any victim is supported and any perpetrator is held to account. All groups in the Diocese are committed to establishing high standards of practice.

Anyone with concerns about a child or vulnerable adults in this Parish or who requires information on our procedures should contact one of the following.
