Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of both male and female in God’s own image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s recreation of us in Christ. This implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm.

We follow the Church of England prodecures and practices contained in the Parish Safeguarding Handbook.
