Safeguarding

Every child, young person and vulnerable adult who comes to a Church or Parish Activity is important. All the adults must make sure:
·         You are treated well and with respect.
·         You are listened to.
·         All reasonable action is taken to ensure you are safe.


If you are unhappy, muddled, confused, worried, hurt or frightened about anything that happens at a Church or Parish Activity, where you live or anywhere else you go, we want to help.

The people you can tell are:
·         Somebody in your family or where you live.
·         A leader who you feel listens to you in the Church/Parish Activity.
·         Your Parish Safeguarding Representative, Una McCabe - click here to send an email.
